Many older adults are distressed by sleep problems. Develop a profile of the typical sleep patterns in the older adult and offer several ways of addressing their sleep problems through selective optimization with compensation
What will be an ideal response?
A profile for typical sleep patterns includes spending more time in bed than in earlier
years, taking a long time to fall asleep, waking often, taking naps, and feeling
drowsy during the day. Ways that older adults could compensate for their changing
sleep patterns include avoiding naps, reducing time lying awake in bed,
compressing their nightly sleep time, and realizing that changing sleep patterns
occurs naturally with age.
