It is common for people over the age of 65 to have problems with their sleep. Insomnia is their most frequent complaint. Insomnia is when you have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early. In general, it may result in a quality of sleep that is not as refreshing as it should be. The causes of insomnia in older people include the following: alcohol use, medical illness, depression, medication use, and loss of a loved one. Many problems are only temporary, while other problems may be long lasting. This lecture offers the opportunity to learn more about sleep disturbances, their causes and ways to achieve better rest.
