Excessive daytime sleepiness in older adults: A documentary review
Keywords:
narcolepsy, insomnia, sleep apnea, drowsinessAbstract
This article addressed various topics related to excessive daytime sleepiness, which refers to excessive sleep during the day even after having slept. The main objective was to find the causes that led people to present different symptoms that affected sleep quality and prevented them from maintaining an adequate daily routine, presenting pathologies as well as sleep alterations in older adults. The different diseases that can be evidenced are sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and insomnia, including changes in the cognitive area. In this article, a qualitative method was used that took into account the lived experiences of older adults who presented this type of condition and considered how this affected the quality of life, the emotional part, and the physical part of each individual. Due to this, different factors were taken into account to allow for finding a solution to this type of condition, which subsequently would facilitate the way to help older adults cope with these cases of excessive daytime sleepiness.
