Patients of vascular cognitive impairment often suffered from all kinds of sleep problems, which further reduced their quality of life, improved risk of cerebrovascular events and increased their caregiver’s burden. Effective treatment of sleep disorders can not only improve the quality of life of patients, but also have positive effects on the cognitive and functional rehabilitation of patients. In this article, we reviewed the common sleep problems in patients of vascular cognitive impairment, elaborated on the present research results of nonpharmacological treatments to these problems, and discussed the future research fields and application prospects of non-pharmacological therapy for sleep disturbance of vascular cognitive impairment patients.
