ERIC NOFZINGER, MD: I think some of the newer non-benzodiazepine sedative hypnotics tend to be a little bit better tolerated in the elderly.

ANNOUNCER: It's always important to recognize how vital good sleep really is, and that sleep problems late in life are not inevitable.

CHARLES REYNOLDS, MD: We think that sleep is very important at meeting the challenges of old age, whether that's caregiving, whether it's adjusting to loss or bereavement, or whether it's staying well from the point of view of mental and physical health. I think that sleep plays a critical role, and that steps taken by elderly people and their families to improve the quality of sleep repays in terms of health dividends.
