When it comes to sleeping problems, you must be aware of how caffeine and alcohol affect your sleep. The most common and problematic is caffeine. Elders don't need caffeine. Another substance that gives us trouble with our sleep is alcohol. Even though some people might fall asleep right after they have something to drink, they are more likely to have a fragmented sleep and wake up in the middle of the night. So elders with dementia definitely don't need their alcohol.

If this is the first time you watch my videos, I am Dr Liz and I am a board-certified geriatric specialist. Over the years I have worked with thousands of families from all over the country to help elders through the aging process. Families are typically in crisis and don’t know where to turn when loved ones have dementia, Alzheimer’s, medication problems, or any complications from aging. I feel we must take away medications that “zombify” our elders and adjust meds to get our loved ones back to the happy, productive people they once were. Do you have questions or concerns? Don’t panic. Dr Liz Geriatrics is your resource for everything and anything you need to know about aging. I am so glad you stopped by and remember we are here to help.
