The Sleep Function Interdisciplinary Group (SAFIG) at the
University of Alberta with the help of the CanadianDementia Knowledge Translation Network have created the website Sleep: a critical but
overlooked aspect of dementia management. This website reviews the
research evidence on the effects that lack of sleep may have on a person with
dementia and suggests non-pharmacological ways to get a better sleep.
The group was also involved in a creating a national survey on
healthcare providers’ use of non-pharmacological sleep interventions for
persons with dementia. The results of the survey are available in their
report, Understanding
healthcare providers barriers to prescribing and recommending
non-pharmacological sleep interventions for persons diagnoses with dementia.
