Conditions

Sleep

Summary

This is a randomized controlled trial over 5 years, using Stage II of the NIH-defined stage model for behavioral intervention development. We will evaluate the efficacy of the sleep intervention program (Care2Sleep) on sleep, health status measures, and quality of life (for dyads), and inflammation (for caregivers only). Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to in-person Care2Sleep, telehealth Care2Sleep, or to an in-person education control group. The Care2Sleep programs and the control education program will consist of five sessions. The intervention and control programs will begin after baseline assessment and randomization. Posttreatment assessments will be performed immediately after the last session and at 6-month follow-up.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests a program designed to improve sleep in both people living with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers at the same time — a "dyadic" approach. Poor sleep is very common in both patients and caregivers and makes the disease harder to manage. The program teaches sleep strategies to both members of the pair together. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a person with Alzheimer's disease or a related memory disorder, OR you are the primary caregiver for someone with Alzheimer's - You and your care partner are both willing to participate together - You are experiencing sleep problems - You are an adult (18 or older) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - The person with Alzheimer's is in a nursing home or memory care facility - You have a serious untreated sleep disorder like severe sleep apnea - You are unable to participate in a multi-session program due to health or logistical reasons Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
