Did you know that your sleep needs and patterns change as you age? Babies need far more sleep than anyone else, but as you age, your sleep duration decreases. People over age 60 generally experience more sleep interruptions. However, at the pique of your life, averaging between 7-9 hours per night is essential to overall health. There really is no "magic" number of sleep hours as need can vary from one person to the next, but it's important to listen to your body and respond appropriately to its needs. Sleep quantity and quality are important when it comes to keeping your body healthy and strong and operating at its best levels.
