Sleep problems are associated with many different forms of psychopathology in late life; however, there is currently a gap in the literature on the association between sleep quality and hoarding in older adults. This secondary data analysis of 40 older adults with hoarding disorder examined the association between sleep and hoarding, change in sleep disturbance following treatment, and the impact of sleep on treatment response. Sleep disturbance was correlated with hoarding severity, and this association remained significant when controlling for inability to sleep in a bed due to clutter in a multiple regression analysis. Following treatment, there was no change in sleep disturbance using a paired t-test, and baseline sleep disturbance was not correlated with change in hoarding severity. Future studies on the potential impact of sleep disturbance on hoarding treatment in older adults should examine if targeting sleep issues adjunctively could lead to improved sleep and improved treatment adherence/efficacy.

睡眠问题与晚年许多不同形式的精神病理学有关。然而，目前关于老年人睡眠质量与囤积症之间关联的文献存在空白。这项对 40 名患有囤积症的老年人的二级数据分析检查了睡眠与囤积症之间的关联、治疗后睡眠障碍的变化以及睡眠对治疗反应的影响。睡眠障碍与囤积严重程度相关，并且在多元回归分析中控制由于杂乱而无法在床上睡觉时，这种关联仍然显着。治疗后，使用配对t 的睡眠障碍没有变化- 测试，并且基线睡眠障碍与囤积严重程度的变化无关。未来关于睡眠障碍对老年人囤积治疗的潜在影响的研究应该检查辅助治疗睡眠问题是否可以改善睡眠并提高治疗依从性/疗效。
