News: Case Management Services Information Insomnia excerpt from NIHSeniorHealth.gov

Insomnia is the most common sleep complaint at any age. It affects almost half of adults 60 and older. Symptoms If you have insomnia, you may experience any one or any combination of the following symptoms.

taking a long time -- more than 30 to 45 minutes -- to fall asleep

waking up many times each night

waking up early and being unable to get back to sleep

waking up feeling tired, and unable to function well during the day

Short-term insomnia, lasting less than one month, may result from a medical or psychiatric condition. Or it may occur after a change in personal circumstances like losing a loved one, relocating, financial worries,or being hospitalized. If insomnia lasts longer than a month, it is considered chronic, even if the original cause has been resolved. Many Possible Causes Many factors can cause insomnia. However, the

most common reason older adults wake up at

night is to go to the bathroom. Prostate

enlargement in men and continence problems in

women are often the cause. Unfortunately,

waking up to go to the bathroom at night also

places older adults at greater risk for falling.

Disorders that cause pain or discomfort during

the night such as heartburn, arthritis, menopause,

and cancer also can cause you to lose sleep.

Medical conditions such as heart failure and lung

disease may make it more difficult to sleep

through the night, too. Neurologic conditions such

as Parkinson's disease and dementia are often a

source of sleep problems, as are psychiatric

conditions, such as depression. Although

depression and insomnia are often related, it is

currently unclear whether one causes the other.

Many older adults take a variety of different

medications that may negatively affect their

sleep. Many medications have side effects that

can cause sleepiness or affect daytime

functioning.

Relief for Insomnia Lifestyle changes often can help relieve short-

term insomnia. Avoid substances that make

insomnia worse. These include caffeine, alcohol,

and certain over-the-counter and prescription

medicines. Try to adopt bedtime habits that

make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.

Some people watch the evening news, read a

book, or soak in a warm bath. A type of counsel-

ing called cognitive-behavioral therapy can help

relieve chronic (ongoing) insomnia. This therapy

encourages good sleep habits and uses several

methods such as relaxation and biofeedback to

relieve sleep anxiety. Many prescription

medicines are used to treat insomnia. They can

help relieve insomnia and re-establish a regular

sleep schedule. Some are meant for short-term

use, while others are meant for longer use. Talk

to your doctor about the benefits and side effects

of insomnia medicines. Some over-the-counter

products claim to treat insomnia. Although these

products may make you sleepy, talk to your

doctor before taking them. If your insomnia is the

symptom or side effect of another problem, it's

important to treat the underlying cause, if

possible. Talk to your physician.

News: Case Management Information Senior Bullying by Kendra LaGrange, UW School

of Social Work Graduate Student Intern, Stoughton Area Senior Center

The term “bully” is one historically reserved for children on the playground. But in fact the awareness of bullying among all age groups, including older adults is on the rise. An estimated 10-20% of seniors surveyed in America have experienced some type of senior-to-senior bullying and professionals in the field believe that to be an underreported number. Bullying may be defined as the activity of repeated aggressive behavior intended to hurt another person physically or mentally. Bullying can be verbal, physical, or anti-social by excluding people from events or common areas. Passive-Aggressive behaviors such as gossiping or belittling someone also count as bullying behavior. The impact of bullying on victims can include anger, anxiety, self-isolation, reduced self-esteem, depression and health changes. Many victims of bullying have trouble defending themselves and feel like they have no power. They may have a developmental delay or suffer from dementia. People with cognitive, intellectual or mental health issues may have mannerisms that can be irritating to others which bullies may cite as justification for bullying. A lot of bullying arises from people not understanding the behaviors that come with dementia, mental illness, and developmental disabilities. Other people simply cannot tolerate those who are “different” from them out of fear or not knowing.

Observers/ Bystanders and the Negative Effects of Doing Nothing- When a bully is not held accountable by observers for his or her behavior or words, it encourages the bullying behavior and the behavior will continue. It’s up to the whole community to tell and show the person who is being hurtful that the behaviors are not accept-able. There are many reasons why individuals choose not to intervene. They may be relieved that the victim is someone else, and not them. Or, they may take vicarious satisfaction in the bullying or they may worry that if they intervene they will be the next victim of the bullying. Sadly, bullying impacts both the victim and the bystand-ers by perpetuating an unpleasant atmosphere and causing harm to physical and emotional health. What can you do if you are being bullied or if you see bullying happening? There are many empowering techniques a person who either sees bullying or is being bullied can use to intervene and increase self-esteem and assertiveness:

Ignore the bully; or if called for, say “NO” to a

pushy or disrespectful person or action

Persist in living your life despite the fact that

the bully exists

Maintain a positive attitude, respond in a

positive manner and leave the situation as necessary

Remain calm, breathe. Do not react in a

hostile manner

Connect with others who understand. Most

people are committed to an atmosphere of equality and respect regardless of differences

The most important stand everyone can make when bullying behaviors present themselves is to commit to and promote a culture with principles of equality and respect for everyone. Remember the golden rule: Treat others how you yourself wish to be treated! Please call the Stoughton Area Senior Center for more information.

Summer is Here ... Be Food Safe Tote Safety:

Wash your grocery tote frequently.

Put meat, poultry and fish in separate plastic

bags before placing in totes.

Place fresh or frozen raw meat, poultry and

fish in separate totes from your ready to eat foods.

Clean all areas where you place your tote,

like counters or tables to reduce cross contamination.

Store clean totes in a dry location, avoid

leaving them in the trunk of a vehicle. Home Safety:

Use 2 cutting boards-one for meat and the

other for ready to eat foods. Different colors work great.

Use a food thermometer and cooking guide.

Store leftovers in shallow covered containers

to reduce their temperatures faster and help them stay safer, longer.

Have plenty of soap nearby so everyone

helping in the kitchen can wash their hands often.

Sponges and towels can soak up bacteria

and cross contamination, better to use paper towels.

Commission on Aging Meeting Highlights for May 6, 2014

Center Concerns

Senior Center participant Ruby Hauge and City

Council member Paul Lawrence discussed their frustrations with the COA’s decision to close the Center during Syttende Mai weekend.

Based on the original cost and liability concerns

discussed for months in prior meetings and the newsletter, the COA confirmed the Center will be

closed over Syttende Mai. A motion was made to revisit the issue next month to discuss how to handle next year’s event.

Volunteer Recognition

Senior Center volunteers were granted “Stoughton

Volunteers of the Year” and will be honored in the Syttende Mai Parade.

Center News:

Thanks to grant funds we are still seeking quotes

to redo the main level flooring, chairs and tables. So far, the quote costs are very high, so Cindy is

pursuing more quotes and further fundraisers.

Distributed brochure samples; there are not

enough members for a PR Committee, so Cindy is requesting brochure advice directly from COA.

Evaluation Committee reviewed a survey to be

used to determine the type of improvements most desired by the community and the best partner-ships available to sustain any changes to the

nutrition program.

Legislative Update:

RSVP of Dane County, a volunteer program that

the majority of our volunteers are registered through for mileage reimbursement, is facing a 69% reduction in the President’s 2015 Budget. Call RSVP at 238-7787 to support the

maintaining of its current funding levels.

As of April 2014, all adults without dependent

children who are within 100% of the Federal Poverty Level are now eligible for health care through BadgerCare.
