Troubles du sommeil chez les aidants à domicile de patients atteints de démence

Three major contributors to caregiver sleep-disturbance are pointed in this paper: the apparition of caregiver disrupted sleep routines, caregiver burden and depression and the caregiver's physical health status. Successful treatment of a caregiver's sleep disturbance requires careful consideration of each of these contributors. Non-pharmacological options are generally recommended as a first line of treatment for managing sleep disturbances in older adults, including caregivers of persons with dementia.
