It’s common for older adults to experience changes in the quality and duration of their sleep. Many of these changes occur due to changes in the body’s internal clock. Mental and physical health conditions may interfere with sleep. The relationship between physical health and sleep is complicated by the fact that many older adults are diagnosed with more than one health condition. Poor sleep quality in seniors can be related to the lifestyle changes that often come with aging as well. This program was developed to assist you in identifying residents with poor sleep hygiene and to implement interventions to encourage a good night's sleep!
Objectives:
- Define what “quality sleep is”
- Identify the importance of sleep for the elderly
- Identify bedtime routines to assist in good sleep hygiene
