Measure
Nonpharmacological Sleep Intervention
The intervention will combine: 1) structured sleep assessment, 2) environmental interventions (efforts to increase bright light exposure, decrease daytime in-bed time, and provide a structured bedtime routine), and 3) elements of cognitive-behavioral strategies.
Active Control
Active control: Daily 15-minute social visit from a research assistant. The visits include structured activities to facilitate social interaction (e.g., memory games, current event discussions).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 3-month follow-up

Average sleep efficiency calculated from 7 days of actigraphy. Sleep efficiency for each night is calculated as the number of hours asleep divided by the number of hours in bed.
