Summary

The long-range goal is to identify an efficacious and practical intervention to improve sleep quality and duration for family caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The main goal of this study is to determine feasibility of a self-administered hypnosis intervention with caregivers of individuals with ADRD by randomizing eligible participants into one of two study arms, self-administered hypnosis (treatment group) or sham white noise hypnosis (control group). The investigators are also examining the feasibility of accrual, outcome measures (diaries, actigraphy) and study design.

Conditions

  • Poor Quality Sleep
  • Caregiver Stress
  • Alzheimer's Disease (Incl Subtypes)

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Self-Administered Hypnosis

Participants randomized to the self-administered hypnosis group will receive five audio-recordings of self-administered hypnosis, specifically targeting sleep improvement, which they will use for daily home practice.

BEHAVIORAL

Self-Administered White Noise Hypnosis

Participants randomized to the white noise hypnosis control will receive the same information and contact with the therapist, but will be provided with audio recordings that contain white noise as a sham hypnosis condition. These recordings include instructions and the use of white noise as a hypnotic induction.
