Sleep

[lostchild]

The older I’ve gotten, the weirder my sleep patterns have gotten.
Now I nap for an hour or so in the afternoon, stay up ‘til midnight, sleep ‘til 7-8 am.
Just wait ‘til your prostate starts growing and you have to pee 2-3 times a night.

Wait till you hit 73 like me. When I try to take a nap people poke me to see if I am still living. Now get yourself a nice 26 year old Hottie that seams to help me a lot.

Mine was 19 LOL.............................

Better mattress? Not sure it's an issue. I have functioned pretty well off 4-6 hrs of sleep for years. 6 on a good night.

This ^^^
My doctor and I have discussed this a lot. I’m 66 and since my 40’s my avg. has been ~5 and I function fine on this.

Guys he didn't say he is taking naps throughout the day, he was saying that at night it is LIKE a series of naps.

In a couple of weeks I'll be 63 years old. I've noticed in the last couple years I don't sleep as much as I used to. It's more a series of naps.
I know some very successful people that function on 4 hours of sleep.
Everything that I have read says that we need at least 7 hours of sleep.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get a good night sleep and be able to sleep straight through 7 hours like I used to in the good old days?

I haven't slept more than a couple hours at a time since I was a kid. You'll survive.

Seriously though:
Aegis made some good suggestions. Exercise helps too, just don't do it too late or it can leave you wound up.

Yeah I got a couple of tips
The room needs to be as cold as you can stand it
The room needs to be 100% dark, not a single shed of light or electronics lighting up the room
Remove the tv from your room
Exercise everyday
Wear a sleeping mask
Don’t drink any liquids after 6PM to prevent you from getting up in the middle of the night
Make sure you have a good enough mattress And it doesn’t need replacing
No more napping during the day
All I can think of right now

oh I almost forgot 2 big ones. B6 and Magnesium. Both are awesome for sleep/relaxing. Natural Calm is a good Magnesium drink powder, or you can get pills if you prefer.

Calm Magnesium and liposomal melatonin before bedtime. You will sleep and have glorious bowel movements the next day.

Trump has spent most of his life on 3 to 4 hours of sleep everyday. That means you should be a Billionaire by now!
