Sleep
People age 60 and up should aim for 7-9 hours a night, depending on their level of activity throughout the day and overall health. Since seniors usually suffer from physical disabilities and medical conditions, they often develop sleep disorders, like insomnia, making it more difficult to get quality sleep.
Sleep better by turning off blue light sources like your TV or phone at least 30 minutes before bed. Avoid drinking alcohol before going to sleep, too. Alcohol will make it more difficult to fall asleep and will make you wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. Try to keep a sleep schedule so your circadian rhythms balance out, too.
