How Your Sleep Needs Change Throughout Your Life???
Sleep During Childhood 🧒
Sleep needed: 9 to 16 hours per 24-hour period depending on age (the younger you are, the more sleep you need!)
Sleep During Teenage Years🧒
Sleep needed: 8–10 hours per night
Sleep During Adulthood
Sleep needed: 7 or more hours per night
With work commitments, family responsibilities, and other lifestyle changes that happen in adulthood, it should come as no surprise that between your 30s to 50s are the years you get the least amount of sleep.
Sleep During Senior Years🤨
As you enter your 50s and beyond, your sleep patterns continue to evolve. The most significant change observed is a shift in sleep architecture, characterized by a decline in deep sleep and REM sleep. You might have more fragmented sleep, waking up more often during the night and struggling to fall back asleep. This reduces your sleep efficiency, a key contributor to your sleep quality.
Things to Keep in Mind✅✅✅
How and when you sleep can change over time. This can be mediated by changing hormone levels, lifestyle commitments, and your daily routine. Using tools , you can discover your chronotype and determine whether or not your habits align with your body’s needs. By understanding what forces your circadian rhythm out of alignment, you can adjust your actions to keep your internal clock running smoothly. 😀😀😀
