Self-Management of Sleep Among Older Adults

Completed · Early Phase 1

Conditions studied: Sleep Disturbance

In brief

The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of older persons use of a personal sleep monitoring device(PSMD)to improve self-management of sleep. Disrupted sleep occurs in up to 50% of persons over the age of 65 with chronic health conditions. Impaired sleep negatively influences subjective and objective health outcomes.To improve their sleep, older adults with chronic health conditions could benefit from objective information, available through personal health monitoring devices, about their current and changing sleep patterns. Based on this information, sleep self-management interventions can be individualized and shared, and associations between sleep and health changes may be better managed.
