Healthy Aging and a Good Nights Sleep

 Healthy Aging is getting good nights sleep

As we grow older, we need to stay active to keep our

bodies and system in shape. The older a person gets the

less our bodies want to function so keeping it in shape

is very important for all of us, even the younger

people.       Glacial pure 

Sleeping is very important to all of us as we are aging.

Aging brings on a different sleep pattern and we need to

learn how to control it so when it is time to sleep we

sleep well. It is normal as we age that it becomes

harder to get a good nights sleep and feel rested when

we wake up. Sleeping is as important as our diet and

activities.  

Did you know that it is hard for woman to sleep more so

than men in their aging years?  Women have more

tendencies to feel stressed out more and they sometimes

are just too busy to get themselves into an exercising

routine. If you don't get enough sleep at night, it will

reduce your alertness during the day because you'e

tired. Long periods of sleepless nights can cause high

blood pressure and isn't good for the heart either.

There are many reasons why some people can't achieve a

restful nights sleep. Sometimes you might sleep but it

is a light sleep and we need to have a deep restful REM

sleep. Sometimes you may awaken during the night from

pain perhaps caused from arthritis. Sometimes you may

experience heartburn, which causes you to get less

sleep. Snoring or feeling depressed sometimes can also

cause you to loose sleep. You may have a stressful day

followed by the lack of sleep. Muscles spasms can also

cause a person to loose sleep. W10295370A water filter

How you can reduce the problems that cause you to loose

sleep:

Caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine can cause us to lose

sleep. Try not to drink liquids before going to bed, and

stop smoking.  Smoking not only harmful to your body but

it can cause you to lose sleep. Excessive noise in the

house, the TV or radio in the bedroom and snoring are

some more reasons that can keep us from sleeping. Don抰

try to go to bed and watch TV or listen to the radio;

this will only keep you awake longer. You can learn to

enjoy exercises to reduce muscles spasms and/or

arthritic symptoms. You can also reduce eating unhealthy

foods that cause heartburn, or drinking caffeine-based

substances before you go to bed to improve your sleeping

pattern.

Do you have a pet that sleeps with you?  Even though you

think they are giving you comfort it could cause you to

lose that precious sleep you need. You may not realize

it but everytime your pet moves, maybe snores; you can

hear this while sleeping. Maybe you might have to get

your pet a bed and let him sleep on the floor next to

you. If you have allergies, your pet may be the cause,

which can make you loose sleep as well.

Napping is not good if you take one during the day for

more than 25 minutes. I realize that maybe your not

getting enough sleep during the night and you get tired

in the afternoon. However, when you lie down during the

day and sleep for a long time, when it is time to go to

bed, you're had just enough sleep that you're not as

tired.  Glacial pure 

Before you lie down to rest, you should also consider

drinking a warm glass of milk. Studies have shown that

warm milk helps a person to relax.
