Summary
This study tests whether playing familiar music in the bedroom before bedtime can help people with Alzheimer's fall asleep faster, sleep longer, and feel less agitated during the day. Researchers will use a wrist monitor (actigraphy) to track sleep and behavior in 120 participants living in special care units. The goal is to find a gentle, non-drug way to improve well-being.
