BRIGHT LIGHT THERAPY (BLT) OR THE DISRUPTED SLEEP IN DEMENTIA 

 

Dementia affects 10-15% of the elderly population in Hawaii.  This is a problem for both patients and their families.  Medications have been developed to treat dementia, but sometimes they add to the disrupted sleep problem and agitation. 

​

Recent research in sleep medicine has found that morning bright light therapy can be helpful in improving the disrupted sleep that occurs frequently I  our dementia population.

​

At THE SLEEP LAB, we have used light therapy for other sleep disorders and now have developed a program of morning BLT (Bright Light Therapy) to treat patients with sleep disruption associated with dementia.

If you or a family member suffers from the problem, text us or email us for more details or call to schedule an appointment for evaluation to try to improve the sleep disruption suffered with dementia.
