Senior Health: The Importance of Sleep

Vancouver Senior Home Care  |  April 23, 2019

What Every Senior in Vancouver, BC, Needs to Know About the Importance of Sleep

The Importance of Sleep | If you’re worried that an aging loved one isn’t getting adequate rest, you have good cause to be concerned. Studies have shown that chronic sleep deprivation can lead to an increased risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart conditions including heart attack, stroke, and more. In-home care can help your loved one adjust their daily habits to improve their health, and get enough sleep.

Seniors may be at an increased risk for chronic sleep deprivation because of health conditions that can impact sleep, such as chronic pain, symptoms from chronic illnesses, and even medication side effects. That’s why our care providers will help your loved one focus on better daily habits that can encourage healthier sleeping.

The Importance of Sleep for Seniors and Simple Adjustments to Improve Rest

• Cutting out sugar, caffeine, and nicotine in the evening hours
• Managing chronic pain and illnesses through regular medication regimens
• Scheduling relaxing activities before bed
• Maintaining a regular bedtime every day

In-home caregivers can help your loved one modify dietary habits and lifestyle habits when needed to make sure they can get the best night’s sleep possible.

Another key to improving sleep patterns is establishing a daily routine. Maintaining a bedtime plays a big part in how a routine can impact sleep; so can a regular wake-up time, and scheduling regular, restful activities in the evening hours that encourage the body to relax and unwind.

Every schedule our caregivers create is customized for your loved one’s unique needs and preferences, incorporating social habits, dietary needs, hobbies, and more to make sure that the schedule will meet a wide variety of needs.

If you’re helping to care for an aging family member who suffers from chronic illnesses, including chronic sleep deprivation, in-home care can help to improve their daily quality of life.
