Summary
The paper discusses the impact of dynamic light exposure on sleep-wake patterns and behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) in people with dementia living at home.
Categories
Dementia: The paper focuses on people with dementia, studying the effects of dynamic light exposure on their sleep-wake patterns and behavioural and psychological symptoms.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper investigates the impact of dynamic light exposure on sleep-wake patterns in people with dementia.
Depression: The study evaluates the effects of dynamic light exposure on symptoms of depression in people with dementia.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the impact of dementia on cognitive function and memory, and how dynamic light exposure may affect these symptoms.
Aging: The study focuses on an aging population, specifically those with dementia, and how dynamic light exposure may affect their symptoms.
Phototherapy: The paper investigates the use of dynamic light exposure, a form of phototherapy, as a potential intervention for symptoms of dementia.
