Sleep Improves with Age

Contrary to common wisdom, sleep gets better with age, with adults in their 80s getting better sleep than any other age group. More than a person's biological age, a new study suggest, it's factors like stress and underlying depression or illness that tend to affect quality of rest.

When such influences are taken out of the equation, elderly adults aren't any more likely to report sleep problems  than younger adults in their 20s and 30s, shows a study done in the US, reports journal Sleep.
