Improving sleep for people living with dementia and mild cognitive impairment
Sleep disturbance often affects people living with dementia or mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and therefore their carers as well. Sleep medicines help some people but not all, and they can be harmful or stop working if used long-term.
The TIMES study will help your GP develop a tailored care plan aimed to improve sleep in people living with dementia and MCI.

Participants and carers may also be asked to share their experience of the TIMES study through optional interviews and questionnaires.
