Aging brings wisdom, but it can also bring frustrating sleep changes. Seniors often find themselves waking up too early or lying awake in the middle of the night. Research findings suggest this is often due to a disruption in the body’s natural “two-beat” rhythm: day and night.
To improve sleep naturally:
- Get morning light: Even on a cloudy day, outdoor light offers more than 10x the intensity of indoor bulbs.
- Stay active: Gentle exercises like Ping Shuai Gong (Arm Swing Practice) promote circulation and a sense of calm.
- Cool and dark environment: Use blackout masks and lower the room temperature at night to mimic natural sleep conditions.
- Limit early sleep: If you sleep too early, you’ll likely wake up in the middle of the night. Light exposure in the late afternoon can help delay sleep onset.
