What is dreaming like in the elderly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Less than usual: There are two kinds of sleep: rapid eye movement(rem) and non-rem. More dreams occur during rem sleep and have the deepest sleep during non-rem sleep. As people get older, they spend less time in deep sleep, which may be why older people get light sleepers.
