Don’t laugh at the title because until now that adage is still effective. Most of the seniors that I know have admitted that they are sleeping earlier when they became a senior. The usual tv program that starts at 9 pm or 10 pm is now out of their menu because by the time the tv program starts their eyes also start to droop.
Our family doctor said that sleeping early has many benefits because the body is attuned to natural light. That means it is better to sleep at night and wake up by dawn. That means if you sleep late and you wake up by 7 am then you are not really doing justice to the natural needs of your body. In my experience I feel energetic when I wake up early especially when I got a good sleep of 7 to 8 hours. When I have nothing to do at night then I just do crossword puzzle to tire my eyes and sleep will come within 10 minutes.
