Extended data:
The more people sleep, the better. Old people can sleep for 5 hours at night, at noon 1 hour, which can support them to sleep later at night. Compared with young people, the elderly have shorter sleep time, shallower sleep depth, more waking times at night and earlier waking up in the morning. This is normal and will not cause harm to the body. Old people should accept the fact that sleep patterns change with age with a calm mind, and should completely dispel the old idea that long sleep time is the only way to provide for the elderly.
Some elderly people regard their sleep as a measure of their current sleep status, and often regard their lack of sleep as a symptom, so they try their best to take sleeping pills and see a doctor, hoping to restore their original sleep time. This will not only fail, but will further reduce the quality of sleep because of anxiety and trouble.
