But research now makes it clear that both the quality and quantity of sleep are essential for learning and memory, judgement and decision-making, problem-solving, mood, appetite, immunity, and more. In fact, studies suggest that sleep deprivation in midlife may increase the risk of developing dementia later on.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve noticed that good quality sleep doesn’t come as easily. The good news is there are plenty of ways to set yourself up for better rest.
Sometimes the reason we can’t sleep is simply because the person next to us is snoring! By age 30, 20% of men and 5% of women snore, but by 60 years of age, 60% of men and 40% of women are habitual snorers.
