Do we accept that disrupted sleep is "normal" in the elderly? What is understood about the nature of those sleep difficulties? This course will discuss specific sleep challenges in the elderly as well as appropriate therapist responses and treatment options. Sleep culture in residential environments, and how those environments can be improved for sleep promotion, will also be addressed.
