众所周知，老年人的睡眠受到干扰，许多老年人也抱怨白天困倦。对12名男性(60岁至86岁)和12名女性(63岁至82岁)的睡眠和清醒行为进行了评估。在夜间记录睡眠阶段、呼吸和运动，并在单个24小时内使用多重睡眠潜伏期测试来测量白天的睡眠倾向。白天嗜睡与总睡眠时间或任何睡眠阶段无关，但与睡眠碎片化程度显著相关。后者包括一过性唤醒，一种测量-15-S觉醒的指标，以及与睡眠相关的呼吸障碍。显然，零碎的夜间睡眠是老年人白天幸福感下降的一个重要原因。睡眠和清醒的连续性似乎随着年龄的增长而中断。讨论了实现合理睡眠卫生的实验策略。
Sleep in the elderly is known to be disturbed, and many elderly persons also complain of daytime sleepiness. Sleep and waking behavior were assessed in 12 male (aged 60 to 86) and 12 female (ages 63 to 82) subjects. Sleep stages, respiration and movement were recorded at night, and daytime sleep tendency was measured using the Multiple Sleep Latency Test during a single 24-h period. Daytime sleepiness did not correlate with total sleep time or any sleep stage, but was significantly correlated with measures of sleep fragmentation. The latter included transient arousals, a measure of < 15-s awakenings, and sleep-related respiration disturbance. Apparently, fragmented nocturnal sleep is a significant cause of reduced daytime well-being in elderly individuals. The continuity of both sleep and wakefulness appears to be disrupted with age. Experimental strategies for achieving a rational sleep hygiene are discussed.
