Sleep disorders are more common in older women than older men. They have trouble falling asleep, and when they wake up in the morning, they don't feel energized..

A Monash University study of 1,000 volunteers aged 65 and over found that 30 percent of older women had difficulty falling asleep, but only 12 percent of men..

Women with heart disease, depressive disorders and chronic pain tend to be more affected by lack of sleep, experts say.. Older single people are also more likely to experience insomnia than others..

To improve the quality of sleep, doctors recommend minimizing caffeine intake and trying to follow a sleep schedule..

Meanwhile, experts warn that sleep problems can lead to the development of many diseases..

The researchers believe this is due to the fact that sleep problems affect indicators of heart attack risk, such as high blood pressure and inflammation in the body..
