Disrupted Sleep at Night is Associated with a Higher Level of Agitation Throughout the Week in People Living with Cognitive Decline [PDF]
Alzheimers DementAbstract Background Agitation is one of the most challenging behaviors exhibited by people with cognitive decline, causing distress in caregivers, earlier placement into long‐term care and faster disease progression. In order to better manage agitated behaviors in people with cognitive decline, it is important to identify associated factors.
