While it may not be expected, sleep is one part of life that can also change in senior years.<\/p>\n<p>Almost half of all adults 65 and older have difficulty falling asleep and getting a good night\u2019s rest. 7-8 hours of sleep per night can be impossible for most seniors.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How much sleep does a senior need? Here is a list of reasons for poor sleep quality in seniors:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Fewer chemicals and chromones that are responsible for sleep quality<\/li>\n<li>Sensitivity to various environmental factors like noise, light, and temperature<\/li>\n<li>Chronic conditions like Parkinson\u2019s or stroke<\/li>\n<li>Chronic pain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is also important that some seniors go to bed early in the evening and then wake up in the middle of the night. As a result, some older adults take naps during the day and cannot fall asleep at night.<\/p>\n<p>Not being able to sleep throughout the night affects mood and can result in memory problems and an increased risk of falling. It can also lead to illness, infections, headaches, weakness, and fatigue.<\/p>\n<p>If your loved one cannot fall asleep or has other sleep issues, they should talk with their medical team. However, there are some things they can do on their own to boost their sleep quality.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Three Tips to Improve Senior Sleep:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Tip #1. Sleep schedule:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Developing and sticking to a sleep schedule (going to bed at the same time every night and waking up at the same time every morning)<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Tip #2. Healthy diet:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">A healthy diet and avoiding foods that are too spicy or high in sugar. Alcohol and caffeine should also be avoided.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Tip #3. Daily routine:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Understanding what daily routines affect sleep quality (some people find it easier to fall asleep at night if they exercise during the day or do not take naps).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5355\" src=\"https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/edmonton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/134\/2022\/04\/alliancehhcs_home-care-agencies_01-1.jpg\" alt=\"How Much Sleep does a Senior Need? | Comfort Keepers Edmonton | BLOG POST | Senior sleeping in bed on side\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/edmonton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/134\/2022\/04\/alliancehhcs_home-care-agencies_01-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/edmonton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/134\/2022\/04\/alliancehhcs_home-care-agencies_01-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/edmonton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/134\/2022\/04\/alliancehhcs_home-care-agencies_01-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Edmonton is Proud to Offer a Wide Range of Home Senior Care Services<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our trained caregivers will ensure your loved one is comfortable, independent and safe in their home.
