High age is good for sleep

Recently, US researchers said that many people believe that insomnia often occurs in the elderly, affecting their quality of life but this is not entirely true.

Experts conducted a telephone survey of over 150,000 adults. The results showed that in addition to those in middle-aged people aged 40-50 years, the remaining participants said they had good sleep quality. In particular, the elderly from 80-90 have the best sleep quality, Sleep magazine reported.

At universities, experts use the device to measure the time and extent of sleep disorders for subjects who voluntarily participate in the study. However, the results are not always the same as their night view.

The sleep quality of the elderly may be poor
more but simply they feel like that is good

Experts from the University of Pennsylvania, USA conducted the study instead of surveying the sleep of randomly selected people. Subjects were asked about race, income level, education, mood and general health situation.

While scientists found a link between poor sleep quality and depressed moods or health problems, they found complaints about insomnia decreased in the elderly. Especially those over 70 years old complain about this lowest. However, middle-aged people are exceptional, they have worse sleep quality.

Dr. Michael Grandner asserts that the aim of the study is to determine the accuracy of our views "sleep quality decreases with age" . The results are forcing us to reconsider this view.

He adds that the sleep quality of the elderly may be worse, but they simply feel good. Even the elderly Americans have a really worse sleep than young people but their sense of sleep improves with age.

"This is an interesting study. However, many subjective opinions appear in the study, it depends on the mood of the research," said Derk-Jan Dijk, a physiology professor at Surrey Sleep Research Center. If you are angry that the boss does not meet your demand for a raise, your awareness of the quality of sleep may be much different than those who are comfortable speaking. general".
