Study of Bedroom Environment Sleep Intervention at Home for Older Adults Living Alone With Memory Concerns
This small pilot study tests whether simple bedroom changes plus brief sleep habit coaching can improve sleep in adults 65 and older who live alone, have memory concerns, and have trouble sleeping. It runs eight weeks, with home visits and phone calls. A pilot is an early, small test of whether the approach is workable, not proof that it helps.
