AB  - Sleep  disorders  are  commonly  associated  with  the  effects  of  aging.  Aging  affects  the  levels  of  melatonin  and  growth  hormones,  which  help  regulate  arousal  and  sleep  cycles.  Medications  taken  for  chronic  conditions  can  also  affect  sleep  cycles.  Individuals  who  have  difficulty  falling  asleep  or  staying  asleep  for  adequate  periods  may  use  excessive  chemical  substances  to  help  produce  sleep  and  then  use  other  substances  to  enhance  their  arousal  and  attention  during  the  day.1  Individuals  who  work  rotating  shift  hours  or  travel  across  time  zones  may  find  adapting  to  changes  in  their  sleep  cycle  more  difficult  as  they  age.  Sleep  disorders  affect  mood,  attention  levels,  and  concentration  during  waking  hours.  Clients  with  sleep  disorders  may  not  feel  they  have  enough  energy  or  stamina  to  participate  in  regular  exercise  programs.2
