Recent research found that poor or insufficient sleep was
the strongest predictor for widespread pain in adults over 50.
Poor sleep can impact virtually every aspect of your health,
because your circadian rhythm (sleep-wake cycle) "drives" the rhythms
of biological activity at the cellular level.
Lack of natural sunlight during the day, combined with too
much artificial light in the evening, can cause you to get insufficient or poor
sleep.
Keeping your bedroom too warm is another frequent mistake
that can lead to tossing and turning.
Sleep apnea, which is closely linked to obesity, is a common
problem that can prevent restorative sleep. Recent research shows even a modest
weight reduction can halt the progression of obstructive sleep apnea.
