Humans do not suddenly grow old, but develop from infants, children, adults and eventually become old. This is very normal, and everyone can experience it. Various changes will occur when a person grows old, including changes in sleep patterns. Sleep quality is a state of sleep that a person does to increase freshness and fitness when awake. Most of the elderly, the quality of sleep changes, namely when sleep begins to shorten. These conditions can be overcome by pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy. One of the non-pharmacological therapies is acupressure therapy which is a complementary therapy that can cure several diseases including improving sleep quality.
