LECTURE: Sleep and Sleep Disorders in Old Age

As we age, our sleep changes: it often becomes lighter, shorter, and less restorative. Many older adults suffer from difficulties in falling or staying asleep and feel tired and exhausted during the day. In this lecture, you will learn why sleep disorders in old age should always be taken seriously and what causes and treatment options exist. The speaker is Dr. Ingeborg Cuvelier, a specialist in Internal Medicine, Geriatrics, and Nutritional Medicine, as well as the lead physician of the Mobile Geriatric Rehabilitation at the Geriatrics Clinic of ViDia Kliniken.
