Abstract

This article reviews the literature examining the association between sleep disorders and psychopathology among older adults. Similar to the younger adult literature, the authors found that sleep disorders are robustly associated with anxiety, depression, dementia, and suicidal behavior in late life. Clinical implications and opportunities for intervention are discussed.
