Adult sleep A recent US National Sleep Foundation survey looking at the relationship of sleep problems in adults aged between 55-84 found:

• Nearly one in four adults had at least four medical conditions.

• Depression, heart disease, pain and memory problems were most associated with insomnia.

• Ninety per cent of those that did not have any medical condition thought their sleep quality was good or excellent. This went down to 78 per cent if they had 1-3 medical conditions, and 59 per cent if they had four or more conditions.

• Obesity, arthritis, diabetes, lung disease, stroke and osteoporosis were more likely to be associated with other sleep problems (e.g. snoring, restless legs).
