| Annotation | The editors introduce three further articles in this issue of Journals of Gerontology (Series A) on older people's sleep and sleep disorders. They comment on findings in other recent articles in the sleep research field. The association between poor sleep quality and falls in older people should be reason enough to evaluate sleep problems rather than to regard the matter as a consequence of ageing. Equally, the use of hypnotics in dealing with nocturnal sleep problems should not be overlooked. (RH). |
