Are Sleep Disturbances Associated With Aging..?
Dear Reader,
Welcome news on sleep and aging. A study appearing in Sleep that included over 150,000 adults suggests that sleep gets better as you get older.
The new report found that many people in their 80s have fewer complaints about sleep than their younger counterparts do. So getting older doesn't necessarily mean you'll have worse sleep or be tired during the day. If you do feel like this for a month or more, check with your doctor as a medical or other issue might be causing your problem.
Sleep disorders are easier to treat if you recognize them early enough.
While the findings are based on self reports and not objective observations of sleep quality and the length of sleep, researcher Michael Grandner, PhD from the Center for Sleep and Circadian Neurobiology at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine was surprised by the findings. They expected to see sleep disturbances and tiredness in the daytime go up with age.
What they found was the opposite.
As part of the study, participants were asked how they slept and if they were tired during the daytime. Those who had problems with their health, or were depressed were more likely to report sub par sleep. More women reported sleeping troubles than men. There was an increase in reported sleep issues during midlife - especially among women - but then sleep disturbances came less often as study participants grew older.
While specific sleep issues might get worse with age, it's not a normal part of aging to have more disrupted, less restorative sleep. Of course it's also important to practice good sleep habits - creating a quiet, comfortable sleeping space, avoiding caffeine, exercise and naps too close to bedtime, and ensuring that you set a regular time to go to bed and get up - even on weekends, holidays and vacation.
You need to know how much sleep your body actually needs to function at its best, Not surprisingly sleep requirements are different for everyone, with most of us needing somewhere around 8 hours a night. To find your own personal number, sleep until you wake up without an alarm and count the hours, this is very likely the right amount of sleep for your body.
The other thing to understand about sleep involves a naturally occurring hormone (melatonin) known to regulates your sleep/wake cycle can be controlled by exposure to light.

Are Sleep Disturbances Associated With Aging..? Continued...
Your brain makes fewer hormones in the daylight and more in the evening when
it's dark. But many parts of our modern lives disrupt this natural cycle - long
days under office lights, bright lights from TVs, computers and handhelds at
night can stop the natural production of melatonin. To help yourself you need
to work to align your body with the natural light/dark, wake/sleep cycle... this
can mean getting outside more often during daylight hours, unplugging at night.
It's also important to unwind and de-stress before that regular bedtime you've
established. Take a bath/shower, do a quiet, calming hobby, listen to music.
Doing these types of things sends a powerful signal to the brain - it's time
to slow down now. Experts also suggest to improve your sleep you make changes
to both your eating and exercise (just 20-30 minutes a day) habits - especially
in the hours before you go to bed.
Your overall stress level is so important to how you sleep. You'll need to get
anxiety and stress in hand if they are an issue in your life. Try writing down
what's keeping you up to identify common themes. You might need to learn how
to redirect your thoughts, to logically evaluate worries and to let go of simmering
angers for your own good. If the stress of your life is too much for you, find
someone to help you.
If you've tried all this and are still not sleeping well, it's time to be evaluated
for a sleep disorder that will need professional treatment.
To your good health,
Kirsten Whittaker
