According to the results of the meta-analytic review by Morin et al. (2006), behavioural therapy is the recommended therapy for sleep problems in the elderly. Benzodiazepines and sedative-hypnotics are commonly prescribed but are associated with negative side effects and risks, while short-term psychodynamic therapy has not been found to be effective for treating sleep problems. Therefore, choice A, behavioural therapy, is the best choice for the treatment of sleep problems in the elderly.
