To sleep better as you age, try these simple things:
- Don’t nap too much during the day so you’re tired at night.
- Cut back on caffeine, especially later in the day, to avoid messing up your sleep.
- Make sure your bedroom is a comfortable temperature for sleeping.
- Try not to use screens right before bed, and set some limits to help you wind down.
- Wake up around the same time each day and try to go to bed at a consistent time to help your body know when it’s time to sleep.
- Get moving with activities like biking, hitting the gym, or just taking walks a few times a week to help you sleep better.
- Eat plenty of veggies and fruits to stay healthy, which can also help you sleep better.
