MULTIMODAL PERSONALIZED CHRONOTHERAPY IMPROVES SLEEP IN ADULTS WITH MILD COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT: A RANDOMIZED TRIAL

ABSTRACT: Abstract Poor sleep is common among older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and may contribute to their increased risk for dementia. Chronotherapy is a set of intervention strategies which can improve sleep quality by strengthening the entrainment of the biological clock to the solar light-dark cycle, and includes strategies such as: 1) bright light therapy (BLT); 2) physical activity (PA); and 3) good sleep hygiene. Thus, in this 24-week randomized controlled trial (RCT; NCT02926157), we aimed to examine the efficacy of a multimodal, personalized chronotherapy intervention to improve sleep quality among older adults with MCI. Ninety-six older adults (65+ years) with MCI were randomized to either: 1) a multimodal personalized chronotherapy group (INT); or 2) a waitlist-plus-educa
