However, sleep disorders in the elderly may be caused by psychologic stressors (eg, bereavement, posttraumatic stress, forced retirement, social isolation, lack of community involvement), medical disorders, (see page 462) psychiatric disorders (eg, anxiety, dementia, depression), or the adverse effects of drugs (see Table 47-1). ...
• A National Institutes of Health Consensus Statement on sleep disorders in the elderly recommends that health care practitioners ask the following questions during screening:.
• Is the person satisfied with his or her sleep? .

• The timing and amount of sleep change with age. The elderly tend to fall asleep earlier and awaken earlier and to be less tolerant of shifts in the sleep-wake cycle (eg, due to jet lag). Reported changes in the duration of sleep with age appear variable. Although many studies indicate that the elderly sleep less, others report no change or increased sleep time. Daytime napping may compensate for poor nocturnal sleep, but it may also contribute to poor nocturnal sleep.

• What is sleep apnea? Sleep apnea is characterised by frequent periods of absence of breathing during sleep. There are three types of sleep apnea: obstructive, central, and mixed. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common; central sleep apnea is rare; mixed sleep apnea is a combination of the previous two with treatment being the same as OSA.
• Obstructive sleep apnea .
• Obstructive Sleep Apnea can be visualised by thinking about what happens when you block the hose of a vacuum cleaner - the vacuum continues to try and suck up air, but the pathway is physically blocked. Obstructive Sleep Apnea is usually caused by an obstruction or collapse of the upper airway/throat. ...

The aim of this article is to increase the reader’s awareness of the importance of sleep disordered breathing in daily practice.

• In elderly people, little to no relationship seems to exist between sleep apnea and typical risk factors such as excess weight and increased airway resistance. The mechanisms underlying sleep apnea in elderly people are purportedly be different, and they may reflect a gradual increase in sleep instability, which results in both central apnea and OSA. ...
• History: Features of both a patient's history and the physical examination can direct attention to the possibility of a diagnosis of breathing-related sleep disorder. ... Certain genetic syndromes have been associated with an increased incidence of sleep-disordered breathing. Patients with certain conditions should be asked about symptoms suggestive of the disorder. ...

• Background: Sleep disorders are common and significant complaints of older people. A large proportion of older people are at risk for sleep disturbances, which may be caused by many factors such as physical illness or symptoms, increased use of medications, changes in social patterns, retirement, death of a spouse or loved one, and changes in circadian rhythm. Changes in sleep patterns may be part of the normal aging process; however, many of these disturbances may be related to pathological processes that are associated with aging. In addition to affecting quality of life, sleep disorders have been implicated with excess mortality.
• Pathophysiology: Normal sleep is organized into different stages that cycle throughout the night. Polysomnographic studies have classified the sleep stages into the following categories: .
• Rapid eye movement sleep .
• Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep (ie, paradoxical desynchronized sleep) is the stage of sleep during which muscle tone decreases markedly; this stage is associated with bursts of conjugate gaze and dreaming. ...
• Relative amounts of REM sleep are maintained until extreme old age, when they show some decline. ...
• Non-REM sleep .
• Non-REM sleep is subdivided into 4 stages. Stages 1 and 2 constitute light sleep; stages 3 and 4 are called deep sleep or slow-wave sleep (SWS). ...
• With aging, an increase in the duration of stage 1 sleep and an increase in the number of shifts into stage 1 sleep occur. ...
