Most of us don't sleep as well after middle age as we did when we were younger, but many people do continue to sleep remarkably well into old age. Those who sleep better maintain their alertness, mental sharpness, and memory better than those who don't. What happens to sleep as we age? How do sleep changes affect our daytime functioning? What can we do to protect and nourish our sleep year after year? This class will teach you the science of promoting healthy sleep as we grow older.
