Purpose

Despite the strong links between sleep and AD, a sleep health enhancement has yet to be targeted in mid-life adults (45-64 years old) to delay or prevent AD. An intervention aimed at enhancing sleep health is a critical opportunity for primary prevention to potentially delay the onset of AD. The objective of the proposed study is to develop and assess the feasibility, acceptability, and treatment effect of a comprehensive sleep health intervention (SHI) on improving sleep health in mid-life adults
