Speaking to Seniors about Sleep

Today, I spoke at the Montebello Senior Center in Albuquerque on a variety of topics on sleep. In these types of discussions, the topic of aging always emerges as the most likely explanation for why someone’s sleep would deteriorate. While certainly aging has an impact, I always point out that there’s just as much chance that a sleep disorder ages a persons mind and body faster than aging itself. In particular, we know that sleep breathing problems cause sleep fragmentation and inconsistent delivery of oxygenation to the blood and blood vessels, and both of these problems clearly make us age faster.
