Build a wind-down routine. Dim the lights, read a real book, listen to soft music from our era.
Write down tomorrow’s worries before bed so your mind does not have to hold them all night.
Go easy on evening alcohol. It may make you drowsy, but it often breaks up sleep later in the night.
A friendly caution: Check with a doctor before starting new exercise, and talk with your doctor before using sleep aids or supplements. Loud snoring, gasping at night, or constant daytime exhaustion are worth a medical conversation, since they can point to conditions that are treatable.
A Gentler View of the Night
If you wake in the night, try not to panic or check the clock. Breathe slowly, rest quietly, and let your body do what it can. Lying calmly in the dark is still a form of rest. Many of us find that worrying about not sleeping is worse than the lost sleep itself. We have earned our rest. Treating it as important, instead of a luxury, is one of the wisest things a
Boomer can do.
