AGING, HYPNOTICS, SLEEP INERTIA AND THE RISK OF FALLING

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. We expect that awakening from sleep and use of sleeping pills may impair balance performance and put older adults at greater risk of falls. If our expectations are confirmed, we hope to use the results of this study to educate older adults on the cognitive and physical impairments associated with awakening from sleep and the use of sleeping pills.
