(April 24, 2005) -- Older adults who have trouble catching 40 winks can find information about insomnia at a new federal government website. Because many RVers are 60 and up, an age when common sleep problems began to plague many of them, this site may provide some answers and/or solutions.

"Although sleep patterns change as we age, disturbed sleep and waking up tired every day are not part of normal aging. In fact, many healthy older adults report few or no sleep problems," Andrew A. Monjan, chief of the Neurobiology of Aging Branch at the U.S. National Institute on Aging, said in a prepared statement.

Sleep is essential to good health and quality of life. Poor sleep can lead to many problems, including depressed mood, attention and memory problems, excessive daytime sleepiness, more nighttime falls, driving accidents and the need to use more sleeping medication.

The government's website, tips for a good night's sleep include getting regular exercise, which improves the quality of sleep, and maintaining a regular nighttime schedule before going to bed, which tells the body it's time to wind down for slumber.
