Because of age-related changes in sleep patterns, older adults may get less sleep
than the recommended amount and experience decreased performance in daytime
activities as a result.
This article examines the evidence for the effectiveness
of interventions within the scope of occupational therapy addressing sleep.
Thirteen Level I studies met inclusion criteria and were categorized into three themes:
(1) one-to-one single-component interventions, (2) one-to-one
multicomponent interventions, and (3) group multicomponent interventions. Strong
evidence supports cognitive-behavioral intervention strategies for older adults
that include relaxation, sleep hygiene education, problem solving, and physical
exercise, among others, delivered one to one or in a group. Routine use of these
interventions is recommended.
