Hospitalization is a period of acute sleep deprivation for older adults due to environmental, medical and patient factors. Although hospitalized patients are in need of adequate rest and recovery during acute illness, older patients face unique risks due to acute sleep loss during hospitalization. Sleep loss in the hospital is associated with worse health outcomes, including cardio-metabolic derangements and increased risk of delirium. Because older patients are at risk of polypharmacy and medication side effects, a variety of nonpharmacological interventions are recommended first to improve sleep loss for hospitalized older adults.
