“A Sleep Guide for the Mature Adult is a knowledgeable guide to help us navigate the complexities of aging with a healthy focus on sleep. Dr Walsleben provides an excellent overview of the sleep process and its importance to healthy aging, as well as the challenges we face obtaining good quality sleep in the setting of other age-related disease processes. Her down-to-earth writing style with personal anecdotes and practical recommendations is refreshing and engaging, making A Sleep Guide for the Mature Adult an easy read and a valuable resource.”
- Helene A. Emsellem, MD Clinical Professor of Neurology at George Washington University and Director, the Center for Sleep and Wake Disorders, USA
“One of the unfortunate problems of aging is that our sleep becomes disrupted and less refreshing, which not only causes a depressed mood, anxiety and daytime tiredness and fatigue but also contributes to hastening our aging and even mortality. Dr Walsleben’s readable, short monograph on sleep in the elderly is an easy way for older adults to recognize the sleep factors that can be improved and details the common major sleep disorders of the elderly along with the direction that leads to resolving these disruptive disorders. This is a book that I can thoroughly recommend to all older people as it will definitely help them cope with an otherwise unpleasant part of aging.”
- Michael Thorpy MD Director Sleep-Wake Disorders Center, Montefiore Medical Center; Professor of Neurology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York
