Summary

This study looked at sleep disturbances in people with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers tracked sleep diaries, activity levels, and behavior in 70 participants to understand how disrupted sleep relates to daily cycles and daytime alertness. The goal was to learn more about the link between sleep problems and Alzheimer's, not to test a new treatment.
