Sleep Disturbances in Dementia: What They Are and What To Do
Open accessAbstract
Approximately one quarter of adults with dementia experience sleep disturbances. The purpose of this article is to (a) describe and define sleep disturbances in individuals with dementia, (b) describe techniques to assess for sleep disturbances in individuals with dementia, and (c) provide nursing interventions to improve sleep in this patient population. Typical presentations of sleep disturbances in individuals with dementia are described, along with medications that may interfere with sleep. Suggestions for nursing measures that can be implemented to enhance sleep are also presented. Nurses have numerous nonpharmacological options to assist with the regulation of sleep-wake rhythms in individuals with dementia.

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.
