Abstract :
Sleep disorders or insomnia is one of the health problems that are often faced by the elderly, this condition requires serious attention. The poor quality of sleep in the elderly is caused by increased sleep latency, reduced sleep efficiency and early awakening due to the aging process. The aging process causes a decrease in the function of neurotransmitters, which is marked by a decrease in the distribution of norepinephrine. This causes changes in circadian rhythms, where there is a change in the sleep of the elderly in the Non-Rafid Eye Movement (NREM) phases 3 and 4. So that the elderly almost do not have phase 4 or night sleep. Disruption of sleep patterns can be done with pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy. One of the management of sleep pattern disorders in the elderly with nonpharmacological therapy is progressive muscle relaxation to improve sleep patterns.
