Description
Stacey Schepens Niemiec argues that sleep health programs must be rebuilt for the older adults they usually skip. Her 2023 symposium abstract ranks disturbed sleep second only to pain among symptoms disrupting older people's days, and notes the burden falls hardest on under-represented and resource-poor communities. Occupational therapy counts rest and sleep among its nine core occupations.
The talk extends a holistic, multidisciplinary intervention toward those overlooked groups. A person-environment-occupation framework guides the adaptation, treating sleep as something shaped by homes, routines, and roles, not just bodies. The aim is to close a disparity gap: proven sleep help exists, but rarely reaches the elders who need it most.
