Functional Outcomes of Excessive Daytime Sleepiness in Older Adults

Abstract: Daytime sleepiness is associated with functional impairments in a broad range of activities. The decrease in daily functioning noted in the sleepy subjects has implications for deconditioning and related comorbidity. These findings suggest that exploration of daytime sleepiness should be part of the ongoing assessment of the elderly, particularly those with multiple medical conditions.

“…In addition, extended DS may be a consequence of poor nocturnal sleep, possibly created by other chronic conditions (heart failure, depression, Parkinson's disease, and obstructive sleep apnea, etc. ), and/or pre-scription medications (particularly pain medications; Byers, Yaffe, Covinsky, Friedman, & Bruce, 2010;Gooneratne et al, 2003).…”

“…Short and long sleeps are both related to metabolic syndrome (9) and short sleep is a risk factor for heart attack (10). Life quality and people's activity during waking hours are influenced by people's sleep quality (11). Some studies have reported a relationship between sleep quality and being overweight and components of metabolic syndrome, but limited controversy, which cannot provide good evidence, may be because of insufficient adjustment of confounding factors such as gender and lifestyle habits.…”

“…Moreover, dependence is often associated with physical and mental inactivity during the daytime, even among the elderly living in the community, and most evidently among the institutionalized. Inactivity, on the other hand, can lead to fragmentation, i.e., reduced sleep efficiency (15) . Another factor to consider is that some of the dependent elderly require receiving care from others during the night, which implies they would be woken up in order to receive such care.…”

“…However, 34.2% indicated moderate or high indisposition for everyday activities, which could be due to a poor sleep quality. In the elderly, daytime sleepiness are indisposition are often related to factors such as inactivity and imposed inflexible routines, and its frequency lies within a range of 10% to 30% (15) . The low prevalence reported by the elderly in this study could be due to the difficulty of perceiving their own sleepiness as indisposition, as it is masked by inactivity and the lack of stimuli in the environment that would demand their attention.…”
