Unlocking the Secrets to Better Sleep as You Age

 

Are you having difficulty figuring out how to achieve the perfect sleep as you age? The amount of sleep required changes as we grow older and it can be tricky to decipher how much sleep you require as a senior citizen. At Mountain Plaza Assisted Living, we aim to help shed some light on seniors’ secrets to optimal sleep.

 

One essential rule for seniors is ensuring a sleep duration of 7-8 hours each night. For those who struggle to maintain this, bringing changes to their day-to-day routine can work wonders. This includes going to bed at the same time each day and keeping the bedroom at a cool and comfortable temperature. To further enhance sleep quality, seniors might consider reducing their caffeine and alcohol intake, and avoiding daytime naps.

 

Lifestyle tweaks aren’t all that can impact sleep. A variety of other techniques can also promote better slumber. For instance, getting some exercise in the daytime can result in better sleep at night. Similarly, leisurely activities such as having a pet or indulging in a warm bath can foster relaxation, easing the transition into sleep. Lastly, in cases of chronic illnesses, prescribed medications might be required to aid sleep.
