Older people do not need less sleep - Science, News - The Independent

As an older person currently experiencing some sleep issues an article in The Independent this morning made for an interesting read...

I could not but agree that was has changed is my tendency to wake in the middle of the night.. the article goes on to suggest the change that comes with age is losing the ability to sleep in one chunk but there is no change to the equation that more sleep equals better functioning.

All of which suggests I probably need to do more to address my mild insomnia issues...

Anyway, here is the article...
