Older jellies: do you find you need less sleep as you get older?
For the purposes of this question, let’s define “older” as 55+, or eligible for a retirement community.
If you’re not “older,” you’re welcome to answer, but please note that in your post.
Question: Do you need less sleep than you used to?
I’ve always heard that people need less sleep as they get older, but it isn’t true for me.
I know it doesn’t actually work this way, but I feel like I’m still making up for decades of chronic sleep deprivation while I was working. If anything, now that I’m retired, I want more sleep, not less. And sometimes I do manage to get it.
Have your sleep needs changed with age, and if so, how?
