Frequently Asked Questions
2. What are the consequences of poor sleep
for older adults?
Older adults who have poor nighttime sleep are more likely to have
attention and memory problems, a depressed mood, excessive daytime
sleepiness, more nighttime falls, and use more over-the-counter or
prescription sleep aids. Poor sleep is also associated with a
poorer quality of life.
