Study Summary

Disturbed sleep is stressful to persons living with dementia (PLwD) and their caregivers. It contributes to earlier placement of the PLwD in nursing homes and increase the risk for many psychological and cognitive health issues and poor quality of life for both the PLwD and the caregivers. Given the potential harmful side effects of medications, non-medication alternatives, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi), may be safer to improve disturbed sleep in this population. CBTi which includes stimulus control, sleep compression, relaxation, sleep hygiene, and cognitive restructuring, is effective and has durable and sustained effects on sleep outcomes over the long-term. CBTi has improved sleep disturbances in PLwD and their caregivers, separately. Since disturbed sleep in the PLwD-caregiver dyad is bidirectional and interdependent, targeting the pair as a unit for intervention has the potential to lead to improved sleep and health outcomes for both persons. There is no current published research on CBTi when the PLwD and their caregivers receive the intervention at the same time; as a result, the researchers will examine the 1) feasibility; 2) acceptability; and 3) preliminary efficacy of 4-week CBTi intervention for community-dwelling PLwD and their caregivers who are both experiencing sleep disturbances. Forty PLwD-caregiver dyads will receive CBTi via videoconferencing sessions. Preliminary efficacy of the intervention will be assessed using objective (actigraphy) and subjective sleep quality measures. In addition, semi-structured interviews will be conducted to examine the acceptability and satisfaction with the intervention.
