Best Mattress for Seniors
Aging is one of the most beautiful as well and crucial times of one’s life. Most of your preferences tend to shift as you cross your middle age and step into the “senior” age. Your body undergoes a lot of change during this period.
This age in itself is a struggle with all its complications. It was found that most of the older adults tend to develop issues related to health. The gradual loss of independence leads to certain physical and mental changes in their body. These issues might even hamper your sleep. According to the National Sleep Foundation, seniors who were diagnosed with several health complications were found to sleep for less than six hours. They experienced poor sleep quality along with certain discomforts in their body.
As you step into your senior age, you will experience a set of lifestyles changes. Getting retired will leave you with ample time to yourself. This creates an impact on your daily life schedule as you will have less works to do now. Dozing off from time to time becomes normal and you begin to lose your strength.
Many seniors did not face any such issues. But it was also found that a lot of aged people complained about getting less sleep and experiencing worse quality of sleep at night. As per the experts, the most common sleeping disturbances at this age are: shifting sleep schedule, frequently waking up at night, pain and night time urination.
For those suffering from several health complications, getting a proper sleep is more important as the right amount of rest helps in treating the problems to a certain extent. A proper mattress will play an important role in helping you experience better sleep.
