Getting A Good Night’s Sleep As We Age (Online)
Tues, June 14, 12 noon
With changes in sleep patterns, are we getting a good night’s sleep? A misnomer is that older adults need less sleep. Older adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleep like most adults, but often have interrupted sleep patterns that affect the quality and duration. Why is sleep so important? How can I get a good night’s rest?
