Sleep and Aging - Research on Aging

[@revivingmind879]

Sleep is an essential key to healthy aging and living longer. The right amount of good sleep matters since this is how our body recovers from the different activites we've done throughout the day. We need rest every single day or our body will give up. Sleep also affects our mood and mental health, just like how a complete good sleep gives you so much energy for the day and you're ready to take on everything comning your way focused and ready. This ultimately affects the socila relationships you have because better sleep just lifts your overall mood, so there is an increased chance to enjoy every moment with the people around you instead of moping around. Thank you so much for talking about how important sleep is, you remind us of the amazing health and wellness coaches here at Reviving Mind who help older adults live their best lives happy and healthy.

I find that 3 main disciplines help keep me sleeping well, and being rested: 1. Schedule, 2. daily (outdoors) exercise, 3. not eating starch or sugars for dinner… the latter factor of starch, I’ve tested many times myself, and others verify this for their parts as well… interesting, but logical, since starch is fairly close to easy energy sources, sugars in other words…

The part about insomnia is SO true. I'm a side sleeper and when I had hip-replacement surgery, I couldn't sleep on that side for the first 3 weeks (too painful) so I was only getting about 4 hours of sleep per night - mostly in a recliner in 1-2 hour-long increments - but that 4 hours was deep and refreshing! I suspected that my "body intelligence" wanted to move periodically to prevent blood clots so I didn't stress over it. As soon as I was able to sleep on BOTH sides, I returned to a more normal sleeping pattern - in my bed for 7-8 hours, waking only to change position or use the toilet. Stressing over sleeplessness is counterproductive.

[@Cathy-xi8cb]

Very unfortunate that your pre-surgical program did not mention that you could have spent time training yourself to sleep on your back. Even a few weeks of practice could have helped you. Rehab therapists are well aware of this, and if we can do pre-surgical lectures we will mention it.

I am female, 84 I am considered obese. I lost my lower jaw teeth bit by bit when I was in my late 50s early 60s. Obviously I must’ve snored badly because nobody wanted to sleep with me either. I have never been overly tired to fall asleep in the day until I got into my 80s and then I didn’t sleep well at all. I had to go to the bathroom quite often and I had great difficulty going back to sleep. Alsi I have always not been able to breath through my left nostril. Since I was 70 I also lacked jaw teeth on the bottom and Constantly snored at night. Of course I never kept my dental plate in at night, as per instructions. Recently I lost some of my front teeth and I decided I was keeping in my plates at night as I tend to drool at night without my teeth. That drove me nuts. The biggest surprise for me is that I am now sleeping all night without any trouble as far as I know, I’m not snoring. Of course I’m not sleeping with anybody and there’s nobody in my apartment but I’m pretty sure I’m not snoring. It’s the first time in 40 years that I have slept, got up to go to the bathroom And then went back to sleep. Just saying, there may be some pretty easy reasons for sleep apnea or just snoring. By the way I can breathe through both nostrils now at night.

When I got finals in my University, we had to memorize 60 artists slides of paintings,name of the artist, name of the painting, date by of the painting, date of the artist and the title of the painting and medium.I did cards and memorize each one minutes before falling sleep. Then on the exam we need to answer 20 and I got 💯. It’s amazing how this system works. If you need to memorize something do that it works. Also memory association, like if the painting had 2 people, the date was 1920 I associate 19 years old to one and 20 to the other and so on. It was fun 🤩!

If anyone has never experienced legitimate long term insomnia probably doesn't know the horrible distress upon the nervous system...and, to try and deal with that nervous system distress, and while it might be compounded by the frustration level of the insomniac, even so, to suggest that all insomniacs can bring about healing and sleep by taking control, learning what's causing the problem, changing "maladaptive thinking" is bordering on cruel... This reminds me of the doctors who personally understand headaches, but, never a migraine, lecturing people who suffer from migraines... Even so, this is still one of the best lectures on sleep disorders...he appears to be a walking encyclopedia and that has been extremely helpful.

Great Video , thank you Dr Laredo, I really enjoyed your excellent presentation. I would like to know if you have done experiments on your patients with Vitamin supplements, such as Vitamin B1 / Thiamin, vitamin C, Potassium, Magnesium and Salmon oil. As we age our metabolism slows down and the bodies don’t absorb enough nutrients through food alone, especially if we eat the wrong foods which was in my case. A complete change of diet, stop eating sugars, stop eating carbohydrates such as bread, cakes, and biscuits, I try not to cheat to often. I have been doing intermittent fasting for some time now, I sleep for seven to eight hours, then don eat breakfast until I am really hungry which is about 12 in the morning, this helped me loosing weight. I than have a reasonable big meal, I try not to eat a too big a meal at night, also not to late at night which is between six and seven pm, I take the vitamin supplements with my meals. This has stopped my sleep apnea’s, restless legs, chest pains, oedema, BP problems, it also stopped the feelings like not having had enough sleep after waking up in the morning, it also stopped the need for a having a nap in the afternoons. So true, sun exposure for 15 to 20 minutes per day, also helped my wife to fall asleep much easier. We both my do light to moderate exercise and breathing exercises. We are both 74 years and it feels as if we were in our fifties. Our skins have improved, no more aches and pains. It takes, the right mind set, a bit of will power and determination but but it is possible, you are right we stopped watching the tv especially all the drama the negative and bad news. It contaminates our thinking, we now watch more educational videos such as the video above instead. I am amazed how the body has a natural ability to heal and restore itself. For all out there there is hope. Thanks dr Loredo.
