Sleeping problems constitute one of the most frequently voiced complaints in the elderly. Patients commonly complain about insomnia (i.e., the problem of either falling asleep or sleeping through the night). While increased need for sleep and abnormal daytime sleepiness are frequent phenomena in older people, patients themselves rarely consider this a relevant problem. The present chapter focuses on insomnia, the most important and frequent sleep disorder in the elderly.
