Smoking and sleep disorders.
Cigarette smoking is the most important cause of preventable disease, disability, and premature death in the United States. In addition to adverse effects on respiratory, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and other systems, accumulating evidence indicates that cigarette smoking may also increase morbidity by adversely affecting sleep. This article focuses on the effects of cigarette smoking, nicotine, and pharmacologic agents used for smoking cessation on neuronal systems regulating sleep and clinically apparent sleep disorders.

Sleep in the elderly. What is normal?
Sleep is a basic biologic function that changes with normal aging and in many pathologic states. Some of the changes with aging are so profound that it is difficult to separate normal aging from disease. The problem is made worse by the difficulty of recognizing many common sleep disorders. Complaints of poor sleep or daytime somnolence are common in all adults but are more prevalent in elderly individuals. This article addresses normal sleep and the changes expected with aging, and reviews the more common sleep diseases in the elderly population, such as insomnia, sleep-disordered breathing, periodic limb movements of sleep, and the rapid eye movement sleep-behavior disorder.
