Sleep changes are one of the most important—and often most confusing—features of Lewy body dementia (LBD). This webinar explores how disruptions in REM sleep, dream enactment, and nighttime restlessness connect to daytime challenges such as hallucinations, fluctuations in thinking, mood changes, and behavioral symptoms.
Designed for individuals living with LBD, care partners, and health care professionals, this session will break down the science in clear, practical terms while offering real-world insights into what these symptoms mean and how they can be managed. You will learn why sleep and neuropsychiatric symptoms are so closely linked in LBD, what signs to watch for, and how improving sleep quality can support better daily functioning and well-being.
Whether you are navigating these symptoms personally, supporting someone who is, or caring for patients, this webinar will provide valuable knowledge to help you better understand the nighttime–daytime connection in LBD and approach symptom management with greater confidence and clarity.
At the end of the webinar, you will be able to:
- Examine the sleep–symptom connection: Learn how sleep changes, dream enactment, and nighttime disruptions contribute to hallucinations, cognitive fluctuations, mood changes, and other neuropsychiatric symptoms in LBD.
- Recognize early signs and patterns: Gain practical insight into what to look for—both at night and during the day—to better identify when sleep issues may be driving behavioral or cognitive changes.
- Explore strategies that support better sleep and daily functioning: Discover approaches that can help improve sleep quality and reduce symptom intensity, empowering individuals with LBD, care partners, and clinicians to respond more effectively.
