“Successful aging was having no major physical or mental issues, coupled with a positive social life.

The two good sleep categories were “Long stable,” meaning 8-9 hours of sleep every day, or “Normal stable,” which was 7 hours every day.

Once again, Trump defies science. It’s said that he only sleeps about four hours a night.

[SamAdams76]

What is Trump’s secret? He seems to survive on four hours or less of sleep a night.

No human successfully ages. Humanity as a whole is 1-117,000,000,000 versus death so far.

So by not sleeping you will fail at aging, that is, not get all great and wrinkly. Deal!

I conk out the Gutfeld is over-8pm. Wake up twice to pee. Mark Davis comes on at 5. I’m sleeping plenty.

That means Rip Van Biden will live to be at least 100 years old.

My cat and I sleep 9 - 10 hours every night. I’m very old and she just turned 7, considered a senior cat now. I’m mentally sound, but she’s a nutcase.

LOL. Exactly.

Thank God I only have to go after about 8 hours, because I would have trouble falling back to sleep otherwise.

If anyone has a good idea (that works) on how to sleep at least 7 hours let me know. I’ve tried everything! It has been years since I’ve slept more than 4 hours at a time. It’s exhausting!

[Inyo-Mono]

Me too!

Geez, the older I get, the worse my sleeping habits get. Right now, I have to get up every 1 1/2 hours to pee because of water pills. And then my neck gets in bad position and makes my arms go numb. And that is on top of all kind of other aches and pains.

Big problem for me all my life and for millions.

But outside of the Mike Huckabee tv ads....

1/3 of Americans have sleep deprivation to some extent.

An estimated 50–70 million Americans have chronic sleep disorders. The most common sleep disorders are insomnia, narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome (RLS), and sleep apnea.

14.5% of adults had trouble falling asleep and 17.8% had trouble staying asleep. Women were more likely than men to have trouble sleeping.
