Sleep and Aging
Diagnosis and Treatment - Treatment
There are a number of therapies available to help you fall asleep
and stay asleep. You may want to try limiting excessive noise
and/or light in your sleep environment. Or, you could limit the
time spent in bed while not sleeping, and use bright lights to help
with circadian rhythm problems. Circadian rhythm is our 24-hour
internal body clock that is affected by sunlight.
Relaxation techniques also may be helpful in reducing physical and
emotional tensions that can interfere with sleep. There are also
cognitive therapies aimed at changing attitudes and concerns people
may have about insomnia and not being able to sleep well.
