Don't end up tired and retired. The path to better sleep starts with regulating your circadian patterns:
After decades of toiling in the working world, you’re exhausted. Retirement is your chance for renewal, where you can regain energy and lust for life.
“Many people 65+ find that their sleep quality diminishes,” said Brandon Peters, M.D., a sleep physician at Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle. “You may only need seven or eight hours of sleep. But you may spend nine or 10 hours in bed” due to sleeping in. The path to better sleep starts with regulating your circadian patterns. Getting exposure to direct sunlight soon after you wake up helps because light keeps circadian rhythms in check.
“It’s OK to watch television before bed, as long as the TV is in a different room from your bedroom,” Peters said. “It’s important to have that time to unwind.” If you’re going to read in bed, Peters recommends printed books although he adds that tablets “are probably fine.” Just make sure to use settings that filter out blue light on the screen. Selecting the night reading mode might help as well.
