光可用于巩固阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆症患者的睡眠，但光传输方法是成功治疗的最大挑战之一。根据我们的现场观察，假设自发光灯桌将是一种实用的照明方式，因为患有阿尔茨海默病的人通常会花大量时间坐在桌子旁。与基线周相比，在四个干预周期间，睡眠百分比和效率显着增加，而躁动和抑郁评分显着下降。自发光光台是一种为阿尔茨海默病患者提供昼夜节律有效光的有效且实用的方法。
Light can be used to consolidate sleep in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, but the light delivery method is one of the greatest challenges for successful treatment. Based on our field observations, it was hypothesised that a self-luminous light table would be a practical way to deliver light because persons with Alzheimer’s disease typically spend a significant amount of time sitting at tables. Compared to a baseline week, sleep percent and efficiency significantly increased and agitation and depression scores significantly decreased during the four intervention weeks. The self-luminous light table was an effective and practical method to deliver circadian-effective light to persons with Alzheimer’s disease.
