Article Excerpts about Sleep disorders
Sleep disorders are disturbances of sleep that may be caused by many
factors such as retirement and changes in social patterns or medications.
While changes in sleep patterns have been viewed as part of the normal
aging process, new information indicates that many of these disturbances
may be related to pathological processes that are associated with aging.
In addition to affecting the quality of life, troubled sleep has been
implicated with excess mortality. (Source: excerpt from Sleep Disorders: NWHIC)
