• Not Getting a Good Night’s Sleep? Facts About Sleep Disorders By: Cherri Straus, MPH.
• gov/health American Academy of Sleep Medicine www. ...
• Sleep is a complicated process, having many different stages and controlled by different parts of the brain. The stages of sleep are NREM (non-rapid eye movement) which include drowsiness, light sleep, and deep sleep, and REM (rapid eye movement) which is dream sleep. Throughout the night, you continually move from one phase of sleep to another. Most people need an average of 8 hours of sleep daily, while others need more or fewer hours. Sleep is a necessary function that renews mental and physical health every day. ... However, being deprived of sleep can lead to a variety of serious mental and physical health problems.
• It is estimated that up to 100 million Americans suffer from a sleep disorder and the numbers are increasing every year. ... Government National Center on Sleep Disorders Research was established to conduct and support research about this significant public health problem. Some of the research shows that 25% of American children under age 5 have sleep problems, and that 50% of Americans over age 65 suffer from sleep disorders. It is estimated that the number of Americans suffering from sleep disorders will increase greatly over the next 50 years.
• Sleep disorders can occur at any age, but tend to increase as we get older. Many sleep disorders can be temporary, as when we travel through several time zones and experience “jet lag”, or if we are over-fatigued, or experiencing extreme stress. In these situations, normal sleep patterns usually return once the problem is resolved. However, some sleep disorders can turn into chronic problems. There are now 84 recognized sleep disorders that can lead to a lowered quality of life, poor health, and potential accidents.

•   Early in life most people fall asleep quickly and sleep soundly. As they grow older they may find winding down to sleep more difficult. They may awaken more frequent and then take longer to fall back to sleep. ...  It is not true that we need less sleep as we grow older. As we age our ability to sustain sleep decreases; however, the opportunity to nap during the day is expanded with retirement and older age. ...
• Although older people spend about the same amount of time in REM (dreaming) sleep as younger people do, they get less of the deeper stages of sleep they need and awaken more frequently. Studies show that some people over age 60 may awaken briefly well over a hundred times a night, obviously resulting in some daytime fatigue.
• The overuse of prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs by older people to aid sleep is a tremendous concern. While people over age 65 make up only about 13% of the American population, they take more than 30% of the prescription medications and 40% of all sleeping pills. Some research suggests that some prescription medications may not be effective in older people, in some cases sleep problems actually worsened. Another factor that may compromise the sleep process as we get older is the likelihood of developing chronic medical conditions. ...
• Some common sleep disorders:.
• Sleep apnea  - disrupts sleep in 25% of people over the age of 60.
• Periodic limb movements - About 50% of people age 65 and over experience some twitching in the legs and sometimes in the arms during the night.
• REM Behavior Disorder  - is most common in men over age 50, which suggests that age has a role in this disorder. The drug clonazepam can improve sleep in patients with this problem and may eliminate the sometimes dangerous behavior.

• Over-the-Counter Sleep Aids Need More Study.
• Over-the-Counter Sleep Aids Need More Study ------------------------------------------- Although over-the-counter sleep aids are being used in increasing numbers, little objective research has been done to determine their long-term effects, according to a Penn State research team. "Between 1987 and 1993, sales of OTC sleep aids increased from 5 to 15 percent, according to Nielsen Marketing Research data," says Janine L. ... "Despite increased popularity, however, OTC sleep aids such as Nytol, Sominex and Unisom have received little attention since being last reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration in 1989," Pillitteri notes. Pillitteri is primary author of the paper, "Over-the-Counter Sleep Aids: Widely Used but Rarely Studied," published in the Journal of Substance Abuse. In the paper, Pillitteri and her colleagues stress the need for more and better-quality sleep research. "For instance, many people do not realize that the active ingredient in OTC sleep aids, diphenhydramine, is found in numerous OTC preparations for colds and allergies," Pillitteri says. ... "The effects of OTC sleep aids can be unpredictable because individual responsiveness and sensitivity to these drugs vary," Pillitteri says. ... " Over-the-counter sleep aids may pose a risk for some individuals with liver and kidney problems such as the elderly, Pillitteri says. ... Issues such as these were not addressed by the review of over-the-counter sleep aids by the Food and Drug Administration, Pillitteri says. ... "The usefulness of one-night studies or single-dose studies should be questioned given that many individuals will use OTC sleep aids for several consecutive nights," Pillitteri notes. ... " Additional studies are clearly needed to address a broader range of issues such as at-risk populations, tolerance effects and individual differences in responsiveness and sensitivity to over-the-counter drugs, Pillitteri says.
