Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Sleep disorders are common in the elderly, and may lead to substantially impaired quality of life. Many of these disorders are not diagnosed or treated. This article covers treatment options and characteristics of common sleep disorders in the elderly.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The article is based on the authors' own research and clinical experience, and on articles identified through non-systematic searches in Pubmed.
RESULTS: Many somatic and psychological complaints are associated with sleep disorders; depression is the most common comorbid diagnosis.
INTERPRETATION: A thorough assessment of the patient's sleep pattern is crucial before treatment is instigated. Pharmacological intervention is the most common treatment, but serious side effects are common and there is a high risk of addiction. Effective non-pharmacological interventions are available, also for the elderly.
