Insomnia and Anxiety in Older People
Sleeping pills can have serious, or even deadly side effects.
All sedative-hypnotic drugs have special risks for older adults. Seniors are likely to be more sensitive to the drugs’ effects than younger adults. And these drugs may stay in their bodies longer. The drugs can cause confusion and memory problems that:
▪ More than double the risk of falls and hip fractures. These are common causes of hospitalization and death in older people.
▪ Increase the risk of car accidents.
