To start, it is important to know that sleep consists of different phases that change as we get older: Non-REM sleep is the phase that includes DEEP SLEEP, in which REM sleep carries out its RECOVERY and REGENERATION processes, which is reduced in older people and results in more fragmented, less restful sleep and increases fatigue and drowsiness. REM sleep is associated with the processing and storage of MEMORY, as well as EMOTIONAL REGULATION. This phase shortens with age, contributing to changes in mood and memory. ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????? ???????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????? Melatonin is a HORMONE NECESSARY for the regulation of the body's circadian rhythms, including the sleep-wake cycle, and its production peaks in the hours before midnight. Age, light exposure, and changes in circadian rhythm are factors that can influence its production to be affected, which can result in difficulty falling asleep or DISTURBANCES during the night. Sleep disorders The risk of developing disorders that affect the quality of sleep increases with age, among the most common are SLEEP APNEA, which are repeated pauses in breathing during sleep; RESTLESS LEGS SYNDROME and INSOMNIA. The influence of medical conditions, the effects of medications or an unbalanced diet can also affect sleep. ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????? In women, the hormonal changes that occur with menopause can cause disturbances in the CIRCADIAN RHYTHM, changes in MOOD, and VASOMOTOR SYMPTOMS such as hot flashes and night sweats. On the other hand, in men, sleep quality can be affected by the reduction in TESTOSTERONE caused by andropause, which can also cause SLEEP APNEA.
