Older adults increasingly face sleep disorders and sleeping difficulties. Current healthcare professional training is insufficient to address these common age-related sleep problems, highlighting a need for further research and improved care strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Sleep Medicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Sleep disorders and difficulty sleeping are widespread issues in the aging population.
  • The prevalence of sleep problems increases with age.
  • Existing healthcare professional training inadequately prepares them to manage age-related sleep issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the growing need for addressing sleep disorders in the elderly.
  • To identify gaps in healthcare professional training regarding geriatric sleep problems.
  • To emphasize areas requiring further scientific investigation in age-related sleep disturbances.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on sleep changes and disorders in aging.
  • Analysis of current healthcare training standards for geriatric sleep medicine.
