At 50, most people need 7-8 hours of sleep per night. This amount allows your body to recharge, improve cognitive function, and promote heart health.
It’s not just about the number of hours. Ensuring your sleep is deep and uninterrupted is key to feeling rested and refreshed the next day.
A consistent sleep routine can help improve sleep quality. Try going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, even on weekends, for better rest.
Caffeine and alcohol can disrupt sleep, especially at night. Avoid consuming them late in the day to ensure a better night's rest and feel more energized.
Regular physical activity helps improve sleep quality. Aim for moderate exercise, like walking or swimming, earlier in the day to avoid feeling too energized at bedtime.
Stress can interfere with sleep, especially at 50. Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing, yoga, or meditation before bedtime to help calm your mind.
A clean and organized bedroom helps you feel relaxed. Keep your room tidy to reduce stress and create a peaceful environment for a good night’s rest.
