The Role of Caregivers' Sleep Problems in the Association between Behavioral Symptoms of Dementia and Caregiving Depression and Anxiety.

The indirect effect of disruptive behaviors on caregivers' mood through sleep problems suggests that disruptive behaviors seem to play an important role for understanding caregivers' sleep problems.
