Medical Research Breakthroughs and Insomnia

Goodnight's sleep tough with age: Getting a goodnight’s sleep gets tougher as we age. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine says disturbed sleep and waking up tired everyday are not normal. Several new studies highlight the problems poor sleep can create in the elderly. One report goes to say that persistent insomnia can lead to depression in the elderly, especially in those getting standard care for depression in primary care settings. Another study finds older people with cognitive impairment are more likely to have sleep problems. Poorer sleep is associated with worse physical function in older women during the day. Most people need seven to eight hours of sleep a night to perform at their best the next day, but it maybe difficult for older adults to meet that goal.
