It is true that most of the common problems that elderly face today are sleeping disorders. They might have problem falling asleep or might be waking up in the middle of night and then have trouble in falling back to sleep again and getting only light sleep. Some of the causes are:

• Chronic Pain: With Age come the various pains in the back or the legs. For some, this pain might prevent them from getting restful sleep.
• Urinary Problem: It is common for the elderly to wake up many times at night to urinate.
• Depression, Stress and Worries: Most of the old people have a habit of worrying and this has a negative impact on sleeping pattern.
• Restless Limb Syndrome: It can cause chronic insomnia and one of the contributing factors for the day time fatigue felt by them. Some solutions are taking Folic acid and iron supplements, going for walks before sleeping and relaxation techniques like meditation.
