Keywords:
Aging, Memory, Elderly ProcessAbstract
The aging process in humans results in a reasonable decline in brain function and especially changes in memory ability (memory). The factors that influence it include meeting the need for sleep at night. This study aims to determine the relationship between fulfilling sleep needs and memory impairment in the elderly. This research method uses correlational analytic design with crossectional approach. The sampling technique used purposive sampling which amounted to 33 respondents. The results of the study with Spearman Rank test (α <0.05) showed that there was a relationship between Sleep Needs and Decline in Memory in the Elderly (p = 0,000, r = 0,763). Efforts that need to be done include inviting the elderly to read, write, discuss groups, walk every morning for a maximum of 15 minutes and encourage the elderly to get enough sleep for ± 5-6 hours a day.
