Summary

Sleep disturbances are common in individuals with dementia, affecting their overall health and well-being. Reverie VR introduces virtual reality experiences designed to promote better sleep patterns and improve quality of life for dementia patients.

The Importance of Sleep in Dementia Care

Adequate sleep is crucial for cognitive function, mood regulation, and physical health. In dementia patients, sleep disturbances can exacerbate cognitive decline and behavioural issues, leading to increased caregiver stress.

• Relaxation Techniques: Immersive VR experiences featuring calming visuals and sounds can promote relaxation before bedtime. 

• Consistent Routines: Incorporating VR sessions into daily schedules can help establish regular sleep-wake cycles. 

• Stress Reduction: Engaging in soothing VR activities can alleviate anxiety, leading to improved sleep quality.
