The doctor explained that a person can sleep less from the age of 65. Neurologist Galina Chudynska told from what age people can sleep less than 7-8 hours a day to restore strength.

The doctor noted that children need at least 8-9 hours of deep sleep to fully restore strength. Adults aged 22-55 need to restore 7-8 hours of sleep per day.

Adults process a large amount of information, create families and lead an active lifestyle, often working a lot. Therefore, without the specified time of sleep, it will not be possible to recover.

But at the age of 65 and older, you can no longer sleep more than 5 hours a day. Chronic diseases are exacerbated, and you do not need much sleep to recover. People at this age process less information.

In addition, at this age, insomnia often develops and a person may sleep during the day.
