I find that the very small dose of 3.75mg really does the trick nicely for a good night's sleep. Would do nothing for depression at that dose, but is superior to things like Ambien, etc, and at such a small dose, if taken early enough at night, will have no lingering effects into the next day. You have to use a pill cutter to arrive at that dose.
I'm nearly 59. I wouldn't see any issue for the elderly at a really low dose for sleep.
YMMV.
