Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests whether a structured sleep improvement program — involving non-medication approaches like sleep hygiene education, regular activity, and light management — can improve sleep quality in nursing home residents who have Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia and are identified as having sleep problems by nursing staff. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a nursing home resident aged 50 or older - You have a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia - You have been identified by nursing staff as having sleep problems **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have untreated obstructive sleep apnea (a breathing disorder during sleep) - You have persistent tremors or paralysis in both arms that would prevent accurate sleep monitoring with a wristband device Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALLOCK Sleep Program

The LOCK sleep program is a program that trains NH staff in a NH frontline staff huddling approach. It is derived from evidence supporting strengths-based learning, systematic observation, relationship-based teamwork, and efficiency. Staff learn how to work together as a team to collaboratively problem-solving about resident sleep challenges (e.g., evidence-based sleep promoting best practices and daytime meaningful activity best practices).

OTHERNo intervention (control period/baseline data collection)

Each NH serves as its own control. During the control period, baseline data will be collected.
