Virtual Story Time
As we get older, sleep often becomes more difficult. Although sleep problems are not uncommon for those aged 65+, they aren’t a normal part of aging. This engaging presentation and discussion will focus on normal sleep in the elderly, and how other sleep disorders, medical, and environmental conditions can disrupt sleep. We will also discuss why sleep medications can be problematic for seniors and how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) combined with medication tapering can improve overall sleep with fewer side effects.
