We here at Alaska Sleep Clinic are honored we were asked to contribute to AGE UK Mobility’s recent article on how sleep affects people of different ages.
The article “Healthy Ageing – different life habits for different decades in your life,” featuring Alaska Sleep Clinic has now gone live. Here is an excerpt:
In your 60s:
The sixth decade of your life is when many people retire and therefore have more time on their hands. It is also a time when your body undergoes changes with many people’s metabolism beginning to slow down.
Kathy Marris from 50 Shades of Age says life really changes in your sixties, “Most older people’s lifestyle will change dramatically in their sixties, once dependent children have left home, home mortgages have been paid off and they’re starting to think about retiring from work. The first big one is the financial impact that occurs when you no longer have to support children, pay school fees nor make mortgage repayments. This relieves financial pressure immensely and leaves more money to be spent on things like travel, pursuing hobbies or renovating homes.”
Kathy goes onto say that following retirement after the age of 65, retirees that have planned their financial future well, may start to spend the kid’s inheritance by travelling the world while others will downsize their homes.
