Abstract
Aging is accompanied by changes on many different levels, including sleep and memory processes. In light of recent findings, which underline the importance of sleep for memory consolidation in young adults, the relationship between sleep and memory in older adults is of particular interest. This review takes a closer look at commonalities and interrelationships of the two aging trajectories in sleep and memory. A link between these two research domains on aging will be proposed and discussed on the basis of recent findings within the cognitive neuroscience of sleep.
