Summary

This study tests a behavioral sleep program called Care2Sleep for people with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers. The program includes sleep hygiene, activity, and light exposure. Researchers will compare it to a sleep education group to see if it improves sleep, health, and quality of life. The trial involves 672 participants and will be delivered in person or via telehealth.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Care2Sleep behavioral sleep program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a practical, non-drug way to improve sleep and well-being for both Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention study, not a drug trial, so benefits may be modest. Results depend on adherence and may not apply to all patients or settings.
