Sleep is superpower but don't have too much sleep, it would be not good for your health. For an adult 6-8 hours sleep is more than good enough.
Yep sleep is a superpower until you start getting older and age and its health impacts come a calling. Then sleep well is interrupted as "pee breaks" occur. Its called, Nocturia is a condition that causes you to wake up during the night to pee. This condition is also called nocturnal urinary frequency — having to pee more often at night. Nocturia becomes more common as people age (usually older than 60) and occurs in all genders and sexes, sometimes for different reasons. Be careful of how much you drink before bedtime and the medications that can impact this. As they say, 'Fix one thing cause another.'
Chris, interesting you bring this up since you and I are the same age. 2 1/2 years ago I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. I've been on a CPAP ever since, love it ! Get the best REM sleep ever and guess what........ I no longer have to get up in the middle of the night to piss !!!
I typically hit the rack around 11-1130 every night, up at 0630 ready to take on the world ! Well, as much as any 70 year old would anyways ! LOL !
Very true. Have you seen the newest FDA CPAP alternative, its an implant. Interesting what the med world has come up with, but its a 90 min out patient surgical . procedure.
I have, but not sure if Medicare would cover it ?
kinda funny to be on a forum so many would say supports a frivolous hobby yet fuss over having to pay for a sleep apnea machine. I can relate and probably is why I get a chuckle from it.
