OMG mollete, I was going to PM you yesterday because I'm giving a talk at a local senior center on how sleep changes with age and wondered if you had some material on it. Cool! Thanks!

(I love when people anticipate my every need! )

Thanks very much for this article, it answers a lot of the questions that trouble me.

I love that presentation because it seems to carry a positive note.

When's your talk? I have some more stuff at the shop, let me see if they will add anything.

Thanks Mollette.

Those links are very halpful.

Using them as a clue, I was able to find additional documentation on the subject by using the search terms:

Sleep Aging and PDF to eliminate pages without documents to download.

Changing the search terms to:

Sleep Aging Disorder and PDF narrowed the responses down to medical conditions related to sleep and aging.

Thank you for all of you good work on this board.

The date isn't set yet for the talk, it'll be in the fall after they've been put an announcement in their fall newsletter about it. So there's plenty of time. And I most definitely want to offer a positive perspective (aging is hard enough, we gotta look for the bright spots ) And with that in mind, I want to include some on-topic humor (like a few funny cartoons to project occasionally throughout the talk) and I'm hoping Sir Noddin Off will send me the avatar cartoon he was using before his current one:

Husband: "You tased me." Wife: "You snored."

Anyway, mollete, thanks for offering to share more resources if you have them, I really appreciate that a bunch.

Thank you! The discussion in the second article you posted about the interrelationship between and among fibromyalgia, apnea, and menopause is one of the clearest and most straightforward I've ever read. (Not that the relationships themselves are particularly clear or straightforward ...)
