Sleep and Aging

Studies show that getting enough uninterrupted sleep is vital for older adults’ health. On average, it is recommended to get seven hours of sleep nightly.

Too much or too little sleep can lead to heart problems and falls.

Difficulty sleeping is treatable and should not be accepted as a normal part of getting older.

To address this issue, people can consult their primary care physician. To learn more about overcoming sleep -related issues, visit ncoa.org.
