Treating Insomnia in Older Adults
Almost half of all older adults report problems with insomnia, defined as difficulty initiating and maintaining sleep. Insomnia has far-reaching and often subtle effects on health and quality of life, with substantial cost to society. Medically ill older adults are at particular risk for insomnia, since many medical illnesses disrupt sleep and impair alertness. Older adult insomnia is often treated pharmacologically, but older adults are especially vulnerable to adverse effects from hypnotic medication, such as memory impairment and impaired daytime performance. Fortunately, psychological interventions for insomnia have been developed and, especially in the last decade, applied to older adults with insomnia. The resource guide research studies on a variety of important topics relevant to insomnia among older adults. The interventions focus on psychological treatments of insomnia,sleep restriction and stimulus control approaches, and sleep hygiene. http://sprayablesleep.com/signup

Insomnia is when, no matter how tired you are, you find it near impossible to fall asleep. In order to get rid of, or at least reduce the effects of insomnia, follow these steps:•Maintain a sleep scheduleIt is imperative to maintain a fixed schedule of sleep. If you sleep later than usual, your good night’s sleep will get hampered and it can trigger insomnia. Furthermore, if you take short/long naps in the daytime, your goodnight’s sleep may deteriorate further.•Stop drinking or smokingDrinking and smoking are generally bad for health. Further, they release chemicals in the body that induce a sensation of either pleasure, hallucination or awareness. For instance, Nicotine in tobacco can easily trigger insomnia for those who have trouble sleeping. Stay away from smoking and drinking if you want your insomnia to go away.
