Healthy #Sleep Habits for Older Adults

#health #wellness #aging
6 Healthy Sleep Habits for Older Adults Older adults need about 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Getting a good night's sleep supports physical health, mental health, and overall well-being. Improve your sleep with these tips: * Develop a regular sleep schedule and bedtime routine. * Avoid napping in the late afternoon or evening. * Try to avoid electronic screens, such as cell phones and TVs, in the bedroom. * Keep your bedroom quiet and at a comfortable temperature. * Exercise at regular times each day, but not within three hours of bedtime. * Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and large meals late in the day.

Text reads: "The cat owns the house. That's why the word "homeowner" has "meow" in it."

Here I am concerned about the retail price of coffee and hoping Hawaiian growers sre seeding every square inch of soil, roadside, public parks, cemeteries, playgrounds, state-owned land, private backyards, everywhere. 🥵
Text "I'm not a morning person. I'm a coffee person who just happens to survive mornings" with large cartoon drawing of fat, grumpy, dark-furred cat, holding a steaming mug of coffee.

A lawyer for St. Peter’s told ProPublica and @montanafreepress.org that the hospital gave the licensing board 160,000 pages of documents relating to the care of 64 patients; the state received those records in early 2021, months after Weiner was fired.
The State Medical Board Has Evidence This Doctor Was Hurting Patients. It Renewed His License — Twice.
The Montana hospital that fired Dr. Thomas C. Weiner turned over thousands of pages of documents, but members of the board say they were unaware of them.

#TheBreakthrough is a well done Swedish #TrueCrime miniseries on #Netflix, based on a book by the same name. I especially liked its covering the crime, the human impact, and the then-developing discipline of #ForensicGenealogy. P.S. It's a very calm, low key production.

If you believe the Christian Bible: God didn't/doesn't unalive Satan (Rev 12:9). So, why shouldn't Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Mao, Pinochet, Kim, Castro, Amin, and Trump succeed under Him?🤔 #MysteriousWays #Humanism #Politics #Christianity #Fascism #Autocracy #TotsNPears #ImperfectVessel #WeAreToast
