Evaluation of the Effects of an Intervention Intended to Optimize the Sleep Environment Among the Elderly: An Exploratory Study
Open accessAbstract
PURPOSE: The objective of this exploratory study was to evaluate the effects of a brief intervention intended to optimize the sleep environment in older people living in the community and to examine the way these effects change over time. METHODS: The sample was made up of 44 participants (19 men and 25 women) aged 65-85 years, with a mean age of 71.4. The intervention consisted in a group training session that covered the reasons for and ways to ("why" and "how") optimize a sleep environment. It comprises six themes: air quality and odors, luminosity, noises and sounds, comfort of the mattress, comfort of the pillow, and temperature. Participants completed a set of questionnaires before the intervention, and one month and four months later. RESULTS: Four months after the intervention, the replies to the questionnaires showed that the participants experienced reduced severity of insomnia, sleep latency and anxiety. The subjective quality of the participants' sleep along with their sleep efficacy also increased significantly during the same period. CONCLUSION: A brief intervention intended to optimize the sleep environment appears promising as an addition or alternative to the two other sleep improvement options generally offered to older people: medication and cognitive behavioral therapy.

CBT helps individuals with GAD identify and modify maladaptive or catastrophic thinking patterns, promotes more balanced cognitive appraisals, and reduces anxiety severity.
“CBT helps individuals identify and modify maladaptive or catastrophic thinking pa erns, promotes more balanced cognitive appraisals, and reduces anxiety severity [103,104].”
From Pre-Sleep Anxiety: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Approaches in Clinical Practice. (2026) · cites this paper as [104]
The Introduction mentions cognitive behavioral therapy as an option for improving sleep in older adults, but does not describe cognitive restructuring or its effects on generalized anxiety disorder. The Results report reduced anxiety after a sleep-environment intervention, not after CBT. Searches for catastrophic thinking, balanced appraisals, and CBT-related anxiety reduction found no supporting passage in our copy; page numbers were not available. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
