Sleep - information for residents, families and carers
A translated resource with information information for people living in or visiting the residential aged care facility.
Sleep is very important for good health. Not getting enough sleep affects your health. It may also affect how well you can do day to day tasks. Sleep patterns change as you age. Getting a good night’s sleep can be harder when you’re older.
Some medical conditions affect sleep, and some sleep disorders are more common with age. There are many ways you can improve your sleep without taking medicine.
