“…The elderly can have their sleep disrupted by the entry of these professionals in the dorms to provide care to themselves or to their roommates. These activities are often accompanied by lights being turned on and people talking loud, and are performed at times that are convenient for the routines of the service, without worrying about the possibility of fragmenting the sleep of people under their care, as well as the potentially adverse effects that result from that fragmentation (9) .…”

This study was aimed at evaluating sleep quality and identifying sleep related problems among elderly people living in longterm care institutions in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Subjects were 38 cognitively preserved elders living in these institutions for at least a year. Data collection was performed using the following instruments: Identification Form, Katz Index and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results showed that 81.6% of the studied elders reported their sleep quality was good or very good. Nevertheless, there was an elevated frequency of sleep related problems such as: getting up to go to the bathroom (63.2%); getting up in the middle of the night or very early in the morning (50%); feeling too hot (23.7%); feeling pain (21.1%). These findings show an evident contradiction between elders' perception of their sleep quality and the actual elevated number of identified sleep problems. Sleep. Aged. Homes for the Aged. Nursing. KEY WORDS RESUMENEste estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar la calidad del sueño de ancianos residentes en cuatro instituciones de larga permanencia para ancianos (ILPI, siglas en portugués) de una ciudad del interior del estado de San Pablo, Brasil, e identificar problemas relacionados con el sueño. Participaron 38 anciano, cuyas funciones cognitivas estaban preservadas y que habían residido en las ILPI por lo menos por un año. Fueron empleados los instrumentos Ficha de Identificación, Índice de Katz e Índice de Calidad del Sueño de Pittsburgh (PSQI), todos completados por la investigadora. Los resultados demostraron que el 81,6% de los ancianos referían calidad de sueño buena o muy buena, mientras que os siguientes problemas relacionados al sueño se destacaron por su elevada frecuencia: levantarse para ir al baño (63,2%), despertar en medio de la noche o por la maña-na demasiado temprano (50%), sentir mucho calor (23,7%), sentir dolores (21,1%). Se evidencia una contradicción entre la percepción de la calidad del sueño y la elevada cantidad de problemas identificados. DESCRIPTORES

“…Martin et al 5 have found that 69% of long-term care residents hade objective evidence of excessive daytime sleeping (defined as asleep >15% of the day from 9am to 5pm), 60% of whom also had objective evidence of disrupted nighttime sleep (defined as <80% nighttime sleep from 10pm to 6am). By contrast, Voyer et al 6 found that, among a cohort of Canadian long-term care residents, only 6.2% met full diagnostic criteria for primary insomnia (i.e., difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep or non-restorative sleep that cannot be accounted for by medical or psychiatric disorders or by other sleep disorders) and 17.4% had at least one insomnia symptom based upon nursing staff interview and medical record review. The difference in rates of disrupted sleep between these two studies likely results from the very different methods used and differences in the definitions of "sleep problem."…”

Do Herbal Agents Have a Place in the Treatment of Sleep Problems in Long-Term Care?

Sleep disruption is common in the long-term care setting. This paper discusses the available literature on two herbal approaches to sleep problems in long-term care. The largest body of evidence exists for the use of the dietary/herbal supplements valerian and melatonin. While these agents appear to have a modest positive effect on sleep quality among older adults, most studies were small in size and included only subjective assessments of sleep quality. In addition, it is unclear whether these agents pose risks to long-term care residents due to potential drug interactions. Additional research is needed prior to making conclusive recommendations about the use of these interventions for sleep in the long-term care setting. PROBLEM Sleep disruption among long-term care residentsSleep disorders are prevalent in the elderly population, and numerous age-related changes in sleep, including an increase in arousals and awakenings from sleep, increased sleep latency, decreased sleep efficiency and total sleep time, more daytime napping, and earlier bedtime and morning rise times contribute to more complaints about sleep among older compared to younger individuals. 1;2 Sleep architecture changes with age as well. Sleep architecture refers to the underlying characteristics of sleep, which is divided into rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM sleep. REM sleep has been implicated in memory and learning and is the period of sleep during which most dreaming occurs. Non-REM sleep is comprised of four stages (stages 1-4), which roughly parallel a "depth of sleep" continuum. Stage 1 is the lightest stage of sleep, and stage 4 is the deepest. Together, stages 3 and 4 are referred to as slow-wave sleep due to the characteristics of the EEG during these deeper stages of sleep. Slow-wave sleep has been implicated in physiological restoration and is the part of sleep during which growth
