Why is Sleep so Important as We Age?

Are you battling insomnia?

Are you having a hard time getting a good night’s rest?

Getting a good night’s sleep is harder as we age and can lead to serious health issues, including: 

• Weakened immunity
• Higher frequency of falls
• Unintentional weight gain or loss
• Higher rates of diabetes
• Greater risk for cardiac disease
• Change in temperament

It’s important to make sleep a priority because it improves your overall well-being:

• Lower risk for diseases: Getting more sleep can lower your risk for diabetes and heart disease.
• Boost your immune system: More sleep can help your body fight off viruses and infections. 
• More self-control:  You’re more likely to make unhealthy lifestyle choices when you’re sleep-deprived. Finding motivation to exercise when you’re tired can be tough, but when you’re well-rested, you may feel more energized to get that work out, walk, or yoga session in. 
• Refresh your mind and body: Sleep gives your mind and body an opportunity to rest and restore. This can help minimize inflammation, regulate your digestive system, and allow your brain to recharge.
• Increased energy:  Getting enough sleep will give you more energy. It helps you stay active and engaged with life, which helps give you a positive outlook and good mood boost!
