Conditions

Alzheimer dementia

Interventions

The intervention consists of exposure to biodynamic light. This is done by equipping each lamp in the room where the participant is regularly (at least daily) with dynamic lighting through replacing

Eligibility

Age

18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: -Diagnosis of dementia -Score MMSE > 22 -nighttime sleep problems (Scopa night >7, NPI-Q nighttime behaviors question answered with "yes") -mentally competent

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: -sleeping disorder, like narcolepsy -eye problems, like blindness - physical disabilities (eg wheelchair dependence) - age under 55 years

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Does the frequency of nightly bedwandering decrease? Does the duration (minutes) of lying in bed during the night increase?	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Does the frequency of naps decrease during the day? Does the duration (minutes) of lying in bed during the day (in minutes) decrease? Does the participant receive significantly more light (in lux) when exposed to biodynamic light? Do the symptoms of depression improve on the GDS-15? Do the symptoms of distress improve on the HADS-A? Do the symptoms of agitation improve on the CMAI? Do the symptoms of emotional distress of informal caregivers improve on the CSI? These variables are measured using a wearable in the last week of each condition that detects movement and a light logger that can record the amount of lux received per participant.	—
