A recent study found that seniors suffering from insomnia are at a heightened risk of disability, regardless of sleep medication usage. Researchers analyzed data from over 6,700 individuals aged 65 and older, revealing that increased sleep medication and insomnia symptoms correlate with a 20% rise in disability risks. The findings suggest both insomnia and reliance on sleep medications may exacerbate health decline and functional abilities in seniors, prompting the need for effective, natural sleep solutions to mitigate these severe health impacts.
These results indicate that both insomnia and sleep medication use may be contributing to disability.
As older people used more sleep medication or experienced more insomnia symptoms, they moved more rapidly towards greater disability.
