Long-term health conditions and their impact on people with sleep disturbances and dementia
There is a complex relationship between LTCs, dementia and sleep and the effect of LTCs in someone with dementia may be underestimated. It is important that families know that people with dementia need adequate analgesia. In addition, tiredness and illness in family carers may mean they need support to implement strategies, or they will be unable to break the cycle of exhaustion.
