The study aims to evaluate the effect of listening to music at bedtime on sleep in elderly persons with dementia and sleep problems.
The study is a clinical trial to assess the effect of music listening as intervention for improving sleep in elderly persons with dementia and sleep problems. We use a within-subject design to evaluate the effect of the music intervention. Participants are persons above the age of 60 diagnosed with dementia and suffering from sleep problems. We will examine the effect of the intervention on sleep, mood and cognition.
