The Sunday Sleeper

Hello Fuckoff,

As I moved through my fifties, I noticed my sleep changing in ways I did not expect. Bedtimes that used to feel right suddenly didn’t. I was getting tired earlier yet not sleeping as deeply and my usual wind-down routine just was not doing the job anymore. If you have felt something similar, you are not alone. Our internal rhythm shifts as we age and our evenings often need a new kind of support.

I’ve been digging into the research and talking with patients and friends, and I want to share a bedtime approach that works with these changes rather than against them. It includes finding the right bedtime for your body now and using simple steps that help you drift off more easily.

Better Sleep For Seniors
(The ONLY Routine You Need!)

The ultimate sleep routine begins by finding out the EXACT right time to go to bed. As we age, we experience something called chrono-longevity, and so we may get tired earlier and want to go to bed at a different time than we were used to when we were young.

The video explains how to pinpoint your best bedtime and follow the steps that support easier, deeper sleep.

When Better Routines Aren’t Fixing Your Sleep

Even with the right bedtime and a calming evening routine, some people still wake up feeling tired. If your nights feel restless or shallow, or if your partner has noticed snoring or pauses in breathing, an at-home sleep study can reveal whether something deeper is affecting your sleep.
