The association of sleep with pain is well documented among adult populations. Even though both sleep problems and pain are prevalent in older adults, the longitudinal and bidirectional relationship between sleep deficiency (i.e. insufficient and poor sleep) and pain is less well established.

Summary:The association of sleep with pain is well documented among adult populations. Even though both sleep problems and pain are prevalent in older adults, the longitudinal and bidirectional relationship between sleep deficiency (i.e. insufficient and poor sleep) and pain is less well established.
