Abstract

Sleep disorders are not a normal part of aging, although complaints of difficulty with sleep are not uncommon in late life. The cause of sleep disorders in the elderly is usually multifactorial and often associated with poor health. Aging is correlated with an increase in latency of sleep (the amount of time it takes to fall asleep) and decrease in slow-wave sleep (restorative sleep). Changes in sleep patterns affect men and women differently. The available data for the diagnosis and proper treatment of sleep disorders in older adults is hampered by a lack of controlled studies examining objective sleep measures in the elderly. This chapter summarizes information on epidemiology, sleep physiology, diagnosis, and treatment for sleep disorders in the elderly.
