Abstract
Sleep problems are common in older adults, yet these problems are rarely secondary to aging. Changes in sleep with advanced age are probably related to a decreased “ability” to sleep, rather than a decreased “need” for sleep, and this decreased ability is often secondary to medical and psychiatric illness and circadian changes. In this special feature section on sleep and aging, this series of articles provides a glimpse into the explosion of research on sleep problems with aging, particularly in older adults with dementia or psychiatric illness. The focus is on sleep and circadian-rhythm changes with aging, depression, dementia, and schizophrenia; and sleep-related issues in the pharmacological and nonpharmacological management of these conditions.
