Can’t sleep at night? Worried about the banker down the street who sold you a high-priced mortgage buried in hidden details? Did you take a out a second mortgage to live the good life only to discover you actually could lose your home entirely? Well, researchers have learned that “sleep does not change much from age 60 on. And poor sleep, it turns out, is not because of aging itself, but mostly because of illnesses or the medications used to treat them.” So the next time you’re tossing and turning, consider jumping out the window into a bank of snow inside a sleeping bag. If the fall doesn’t kill you, maybe the thought of dying will make you sleep like a baby.
