Why healthy sleep in old age is so important
As people age, their sleep often changes: it becomes lighter, shorter, and less restful. The lecture explains in an understandable way why sleep onset and maintenance disorders should be taken seriously and what causes and treatment options are the focus. This strengthens health prevention, orientation, and well-being in everyday life.
