Research on Aging: Getting Older and Good Sleep; Do They Go Hand in Hand?

[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 18:27:59 02/27/12
While sleep patterns change as we age, aging itself does not cause sleep problems. However, many of the things that accompany aging, including medical conditions and certain medications, influence our ability to sleep. Sleep disturbance can make memory worse, slow response time, and make it difficult to sustain attention, which can easily be mistaken as signs of dementia. Dr. Sonia Ancoli-Israel, one of the world's leading authorities in sleep disorders, talks about how and why our sleep patterns change over time and the impact this has on our overall health.

The good news is we are living longer. The bad news is that we are not necessarily living better as age-related diseases often limit the quality of life. Studies of successful aging - physical and cognitive success - indicate that genetics account for only part of what determines how well we age. Thus, many experts encourage healthy lifestyle habits, including physical conditioning, diet, stress management, and mental stimulation for better cognitive health and longer life expectancy. Noted expert, Dr. Gary Small, discusses the available methods for living better longer. Series: "Stein Institute for Research on Aging" [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 20494]
