ANS: 4
As people age, there is a progressive decrease in stages 3 and 4 NREM sleep; some older adults have almost no stage 4, or deep, sleep. Older people do not become more difficult to arouse, not do they require more sleep than the middle-age adult. An older adult awakens more often during the night, and it may take more time for an older adult to fall asleep.
