I was going to ask the same question. Never heard of sleep hygiene. Would that be like “clean sheets”?

That’s about twice as much as I walked last year. A week ago, my doctor gave me a big thumbs up, too.

Pickleball is great exercise, but also produces many injuries to the older folks. Sports doctors love that so many are taking it up.

Sleep hygiene is kind of a catch all term to describe the healthy habits you should try to have to get the most from your sleeping hours.

They did not really define the necessity of a healthy heterosexual intimate life.

Its really not much of a study.

Will you really live longer or does it just seem longer?

“The eight habits are: being physically active, being free from opioid addiction, not smoking, managing stress, having a good diet, not regularly binge drinking, having good sleep hygiene, and having positive social relationships.”

Sounds like a life that everyone wishes they could lead! We have such an awful addiction problem among our Vets - which leads to a whole host of other problems, especially being homeless. :(

If anyone wants to help, call your local VA Hospital and see what openings they have for volunteering. If you’re a Vet yourself, contact AMVETS to help your fellow brothers and sisters in arms:

No....the exact opposite. Sheets that result in ‘avoiding the wet spot’ at least twice a day are the best for good health.

It’s all alcohol. Beer. Wine. Hard liquor. It’s all the same actual alcohol content. (Approximations, based upon potency: 12 oz glass of beer has 1 oz of alcohol; 8 oz glass of wine has 1 oz of alcohol; a shot of 80 proof whiskey has 1 oz of alcohol..)

And floss your teeth. Studies show that people who floss daily, actually live an average of 6.4 years longer than people who only floss the day before their dental appointment. Gum disease and heart disease are related

Q: Having good sleep hygiene? What the hell is that?

A: Strong sleep hygiene means
1) having a quiet bedroom environment
2) daily routines that promote consistent, uninterrupted sleep.
3) Keeping a stable sleep schedule
4) making your bedroom comfortable and free of disruptions 5) following a relaxing pre-bed routine
6) avoiding electronic devices in bed
7) building healthy habits during the day

These contribute to ideal sleep hygiene.
