Effect of Activity on Sleep of Cognitively-Impaired Veterans

US Department of Veterans Affairs·interventional·Posted Mar 16, 2001·Updated Apr 7, 2015

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating social activity for Alzheimer's Disease and Sleep Disorders. Completed, enrolled 90 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Sleep-activity rhythm disturbance is a prevalent, disabling symptom in cognitively-impaired (CI) elders. Their nocturnal sleep is light and inefficient with frequent awakenings. Multiple short daytime napping episodes interfere with daytime activity and functioning. Daytime disruptive behaviors, such as pacing, hitting, and cursing are related significantly to sleep-activity rhythm disturbance. Medical treatment for sleep and behavior disturbances with benzodiazepines or antipsychotic medications has proven minimally effective and has serious side effects such as impairments in cognition, memory, coordination, and balance, tolerance and severe rebound insomnia, and tardive dyskinesia.
