Healthy sleep without barriers

We translate sleep research into practical, accessible tools for socially vulnerable older adults. Because they experience sleep problems more often and are less likely to be reached by standard preventive initiatives, we focus on clear communication that truly makes a difference. Through a sleep guide, a digital toolkit, and interactive workshops, we lower barriers to better sleep and improved mental well‑being.

Together with healthcare professionals and relatives, we seek ways to provide humane, safe‑feeling dementia care, even when hospitalization is unavoidable.
