SENIORS! Avoid These 7 DEADLY Sleep Habits
Why Seniors Lose Sleep — And How to Fix It
Did you know 73% of adults over 65 struggle with poor sleep,
according to a 2024 study? You might lie in bed for hours, exhausted yet restless.
Rate your sleep from 1–10—how restful is it, really?
If fatigue lingers even after a full night’s rest,
it’s time to look at what’s keeping you awake.
Why Sleep Worsens After 65
Studies show 68% of seniors report sleep problems, with 40% saying it affects mood and health.
Beyond tiredness, poor rest weakens immunity, memory, and balance.
Common fixes like melatonin or warm milk rarely help because they ignore the habits behind bad sleep.
Deadly Habit #1: Late-Night Screens
Blue light from phones and tablets reduces melatonin by 15%, making it harder to fall asleep.
One retiree said, “I felt wired at bedtime,”
until she quit scrolling and fell asleep within minutes.
