Myasnikov noted that sleep disorders in old age are symptoms of stress and depression. Sleep duration is either markedly increased or decreased.
This is due not only to age-related changes, but also to the strong emotions inherent in the elderly. Young people, as a rule, do not experience this, because they live less. Therefore, they sleep more soundly and peacefully.
At the same time, according to the doctor, with age it is better not to allow too long and too short sleep. “It is necessary to pay attention to sleep hygiene,” Myasnikov said.
