Sleep Smarter with SilverSneakers

Hitting the hay. Enjoying a snooze. Conking out. Calling it a night.

There are so many ways to talk about sleep, but many people still have trouble doing it. If you’re not getting enough shuteye, you aren’t alone.

In fact, 50 percent of older adults experience sleep problems, which not only impacts daily living, but sleeping problems are also associated with an increase in functional impairments, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.

Sleeping enough is essential to your health because it helps regulate your metabolism, emotions, and performance. Plus, it helps with memory, brain recovery, and learning. Because of the role it plays, sleep can be viewed as important to your health as diet and physical activity.

So, what can be done? Many experts believe exercising can improve your sleep. Moderate to vigorous exercise can help improve sleep quality by helping you fall asleep faster. Exercise can also reduce daytime sleepiness and may help reduce the need for sleep medications.
