Sleep in People with Dementia and Their Caregivers

Results suggest that sleep in CGs can be more impaired than the PWDs they are caring for even when sleeping separately. Importantly, behavioral disturbance may be more problematic than PWD cognitive impairment level in CG sleep. These may have implications for ability to care for the PWD potentially impacting nursing home placement. Furthermore, PWD sleep characteristics may impact longer-term CG health and well-being.
