Abstract
The elderly have more sleep disturbances and use more hypnotics than younger people, but little is known about the efficacy of hypnotics used by them in everyday life. Prior reports of longterm hypnotic use have been based on subjective sleep estimates (Mellinger et ai 1985; Uhlenhuth et ai 1988). We now report objective measurements of motor activity in elderly users of bedtime medications who simultaneously made subjective assessments of their sleep.
