Here's the book you need: "The Promise of Sleep: A Pioneer in Sleep Medicine Explores the Vital Connection Between Health, Happiness, and a Good Night's Sleep" by William C. Dement and Christopher Vaughan. Web information from Amazon is below.
And by the way, the "simple fact" answer above is exactly wrong. Many older people tend to sleep less because, for a variety of reasons, they need less sleep. Unfortunately, many of them are under the misconception that they have insomnia because they don't seem to sleep as much as they did when they were younger. By contrast, most young people need much more sleep than they are getting. Sleep studies regularly report that teenagers and young adults suffer from sleep deprivation.

Sleep deprivation causes numerous side effects which are often exacerbated by secondary conditions/elements. Reflexes slow, senses dull, depression is as likely as a euphoric state. Insomnia websites are teeming with goodies on the subject.

Sleeping helps you regenerate new cells. People who don't get enough sleep look older than they already are.
You can also write a paper about sleep apnea or insomia.

I know that if you lose sleep your immunity system grows weak and you can get sick more easily and if you lose sleep its hard to remember things the next day.

Simple fact is: Most older people sleep less but need more... Most young people sleep more but need it less.
