Getting enough sleep helps you stay healthy and alert. Many older people don’t sleep well, but getting older doesn’t mean you have to feel tired all the time. There are many things you can do to help you sleep better:
- Follow a regular sleep schedule. Go to sleep and get up at the same time each day, even on weekends.
- Develop a bedtime routine. Take time to relax before bedtime each night.
- Exercise at regular times each day but not within 3 hours of your bedtime.
Neuroscientist Penny Lewis explores the latest research into the nighttime brain to understand the real benefits of sleep, showing how, while our body rests, the brain practices tasks it learned during the day, replays traumatic events to mollify them, and forges connections between distant concepts.
