"They call it beauty sleep for a reason: Those who slept 5 hours a night for a month had twice as many wrinkles as those who slept for 7 hours a night." prevention.com
As caregivers, it may be hard to get enough sleep. Parents of young children often are sleep deprived; so, too, are caregivers and many older persons. For some reason, sleep is more elusive as one gets older. That is compounded when the stress of caregiving also interferes with sleep. Sleep is important. Some recommendations are to not use something lighted, such as a tablet or the computer, for an hour or so before going to bed. It is also good to have a routine, not use alcohol to help you sleep, and to have the bedroom cool and comfortable. I sometimes take a magnesium supplement, Calm, dissolved in water to help me sleep. What helps you sleep?
