Exploring the Impact of Bright Light Therapy on Sleep and Behavioural Symptoms in Dementia: An Analysis of Patient Compliance
Compliance with BLT was associated with improved sleep outcomes in patients with dementia. The findings suggest that lower levels of irritability and higher apathy may serve as potential predictors of adherence to BLT. These factors should be considered when identifying appropriate candidates for light-based interventions in the context of dementia care and improving sleep.
