Core Tip	This report describes the case of a patient who developed Alzheimer’s disease, accompanied by sleep disorders, depression and anxiety; we provided bright-light therapy (BLT) to improve her sleep quality. BLT can reduce the duration of daily sleep and nighttime restlessness, with a higher efficacy than medications in improving sleep. This case report suggested that BLT can have a positive effect on sleep quality in elderly patients with Alzheimer’s disease and can be used as an effective and safe non-pharmacological treatment.
