People who have dementia with Lewy bodies often have sleep disorders. We used non-wearable devices to record and categorize the sleep patterns of patients with Lewy body dementia. Individual sleep data at a dementia–care unit in Japan were recorded using non-wearables. One week’s worth of data from 18 patients was analyzed. Median metrics for all participants were the following: sleep efficiency, 68% (23-89); sleep duration at night, 6.8 hours (1.6-11.1); times getting out of bed at night, 3.5 (0-13). We identified three types of abnormal sleep: extremely short sleep duration, excessive sleep duration at night, and excessive number of times getting out of bed at night. Sleep disturbances in Lewy body dementia patients are treated using various practices; staff must choose the most effective plan for each patient’s situation. Monitoring patient sleep using non-wearable provides more objective data that can help staff better personalize nursing care.

患有路易体痴呆症的人通常会出现睡眠障碍。我们使用非可穿戴设备来记录路易体痴呆症患者的睡眠模式并对其进行分类。日本痴呆症护理中心的个人睡眠数据是使用非可穿戴设备记录的。分析了 18 名患者一周的数据。所有参与者的中位指标如下：睡眠效率，68%（23-89）；晚上睡眠时间，6.8小时（1.6-11.1）；晚上起床次数，3.5 (0-13)。我们将睡眠异常分为三类：睡眠时间极短、夜间睡眠时间过长、夜间起床次数过多。路易体痴呆患者的睡眠障碍可以通过多种方法进行治疗；工作人员必须根据每位患者的情况选择最有效的计划。使用非可穿戴设备监测患者睡眠可提供更客观的数据，帮助工作人员更好地实现个性化护理。
