Improving sleep and well-being for older adults through better memory of treatment
Improving sleep and circadian functioning, daytime functioning, and well-being for midlife and older adults by improving patient memory for a transdiagnostic sleep and circadian treatment
This study is looking to help people in midlife and older age remember their sleep treatments better by using some easy memory tips, so they can stick to their plans and feel healthier without needing more appointments.

What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing the memory of midlife and older adults regarding their treatment for sleep and circadian issues. By implementing a Memory Support Intervention (MSI), the study aims to integrate effective memory strategies into existing treatment plans without increasing the number of sessions or their duration. The goal is to improve adherence to treatment and, consequently, health outcomes related to sleep and circadian functioning. Participants will engage in a confirmatory trial to assess the efficacy of this approach.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are midlife and older adults experiencing sleep and circadian dysfunction.
Not a fit: Patients who are younger than 21 years or do not have sleep or circadian issues may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved sleep quality and overall well-being for midlife and older adults.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that memory support strategies can effectively enhance treatment adherence and outcomes, indicating a promising approach.
