Sleep issues were examined in a sample of 15,638 adults aged 65 and older, including 3,927 between 90 and 99 years of age, and 2,794 who were 100 years of age and older. The oldest adults aged 100 and above were 70 percent more likely to report good sleep quality than younger participants aged 65 to 79, after controlling for potential confounders. Men were 23 percent more likely than women to report sleeping well.
