As we age, it is common to experience changes in the quality and length of our sleep. These changes may be due to mental or physical health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, heart disease, or arthritis, which can make sleeping regularly more challenging than usual. Additionally, as we age, our body’s internal clock ages. This internal clock influences when we feel hungry, when our body releases certain hormones, and when we feel sleepy or alert. But did you know that in addition to being physically active there are many small strategies we can do to improve our sleep. For example, setting a regular wake time, avoiding caffeine after 2 pm, or removing screen time from the bedroom have been shown to help!
