Question

How would you accurately describe the sleep problems experienced by older individuals? Question 16 options: Older individuals report more chronic sleep complaints, such as trouble falling asleep or staying asleep throughout the night. These complaints might have substance, because sleep duration tends to decline with age. However, this decline is observed in the context of normal sleep architecture (i.e., older folks have normal sleep architecture but don’t sleep as long because they generate fewer NREM-REM cycles across the night). Sleep quantity and quality – and any attendant problems – are highly variable cross aging. There are no clear trends. Older individuals report more chronic sleep complaints, such as trouble falling asleep or staying asleep throughout the night. However, these complaints are subjective: they don’t translate into actual impairments in sleep architecture that are observed in the lab when PSG assessments are done Older individuals report more chronic sleep complaints, such as trouble falling asleep or staying asleep throughout the night. This is consistent with: 1. Cross-sectional meta-analyses showing that sleep duration declines with age and 2. laboratory PSG assessments establishing that sleep architecture is highly fragmented in older adults. The sleep problems experienced by older individuals can be traced directly back to physical sleep impairments.
