AbstractBehavioral changes, such as wandering, sundowning, as well as related agitation, are important predictors for caregiver burnout and subsequently some of the major causes of institutionalization of people with dementia (Volicer, Harper & Manning, 2001; Hope et al., 2001). Insights into what influences a good quality of sleep is increasing. Nevertheless, knowledge on and attention to the importance of sleep on quality of life for people with dementia is limited by both informal and formal caregivers. The aim of this study was to gain insight into the challenges people with dementia living at home and their informal caregivers experience during the night, that can contribute to the development of technological interventions.Keywords: dementia, sleep, technology, experience flow
