Aging and Your Sleep: What to Know

As we age, sleep efficiency naturally drops and your "arousal threshold" changes, making you more prone to nighttime wake-ups. While some shifts are standard, persistent exhaustion isn't something you have to settle for.

Understanding the difference between "normal aging" and "red flags" is the first step toward reclaiming your energy and brain health.

How to Improve Your Sleep Today

✓

Watch for Red Flags: Waking up gasping or feeling excessive daytime sleepiness are signs of underlying issues like sleep apnea, not just "getting older".

✓

Stick to a Schedule: Maintain a consistent wake-up time 7 days a week to regulate melatonin and improve your overall sleep efficiency.

✓

Check Your Levels: Deficiencies in Vitamin D, Magnesium, and Iron are common in seniors and are directly linked to insomnia; ask your doctor for a blood panel.
