Sleep in Hospitalized Older Adults
Abstract
Hospitalization is a period of acute sleep deprivation for older adults due to environmental, medical, and patient factors. Although hospitalized patients are in need of adequate rest and recovery during acute illness, older patients face unique risks due to acute sleep loss during; hospitalization. Sleep loss in the hospital is associated with worse health outcomes, including; cardio-metabolic derangements and increased risk of delirium. Because older patients are at risk of; polypharmacy and medication side effects, a variety of nonpharmacological interventions are recommended first to improve sleep loss for hospitalized older adults.
