Insomnia in older adults is not simply about "sleeping less."<\/p>\n

- \n
- I stayed awake almost all night.<\/li>\n

What is insomnia in the elderly?<\/h2>\n

It is a combination of:<\/p>\n
- \n
- age<\/li>\n
- underlying disease<\/li>\n
- mentality<\/li>\n
- lifestyle habits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Older adults can:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Lying down for a long time but not sleeping<\/li>\n
- go to bed very late<\/li>\n
- or wake up very early<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
And this situation lasted for several days.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The caregiver also couldn't sleep.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Night:<\/p>\n
- \n
- I have to get up and check.<\/li>\n
- must listen to the sound<\/li>\n
- have to worry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
After a few days:<\/p>\n
- \n
- tired<\/li>\n
- lack of sleep<\/li>\n
- lack of focus<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This is when the pressure starts.<\/strong><\/p>\n
