How to Improve Sleep Quality as You Age

Create a Relaxing Sleep Environment

Keep your bedroom calm, dark, and quiet to encourage restful sleep.

Stick to a Sleep Schedule

Go to bed and wake up at the same time daily to regulate your sleep cycle.

Limit Daytime Naps

Napping for too long during the day can interfere with nighttime sleep.

Watch What You Eat and Drink

Avoid large meals, caffeine, and alcohol before bedtime for better sleep quality.

Get Regular Physical Activity

Daily exercise can promote better sleep but avoid intense workouts before bed.

Manage Stress and Relaxation Techniques

Practice relaxation methods like meditation, deep breathing, or reading to unwind before bed.

Create a Bedtime Routine

Developing a consistent pre-sleep routine signals your body it's time for bed.
