How much sleep do seniors need?

Most adults over 65 need 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night. However, quality matters as much as quantity. If you feel rested and alert during the day, you are likely getting enough.

What should I do if I notice poor sleep patterns?

Share your sleep log with your doctor. Common improvements include maintaining a regular bedtime, limiting caffeine after noon, and keeping your bedroom cool and dark.

Should I record naps in this tracker?

Yes. Note any daytime naps in the notes column, including how long they lasted. Frequent or long naps can affect nighttime sleep quality.
