Everyone experiences an occasional restless night, but if your aging parent regularly has trouble falling or staying asleep, they're not alone. Insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders in seniors. Whether they've been waking during the night, finding it hard to fall asleep, or experiencing bad dreams, there are many ways our parent's sleep can be disturbed and its quality diminished.

In a nutshell, she shares about:

  • What insomnia is
  • Signs that show your parents could be suffering from insomnia
  • Why insomnia is a problem among the elderly

  • Why you need to encourage your parents to maintain a regular eating, sleeping, and exercising schedule
  • and so much more!
