Seniors Sleep Schedule

How Seniors Can Restore Rest, Energy & Peace of Mind

Tired of waking up too early? Struggling with restless nights or naps that throw off your whole rhythm? You’re not alone—and you’re not stuck.

If you’re over 60 and wondering why your sleep just doesn’t feel the same, you’re not imagining things. As we age, our sleep patterns do change. But that doesn’t mean great sleep is behind you.

At MySleepPlan, we’ve created a unit just for older adults—because you deserve restful, restorative sleep in every chapter of life. Back on schedule! Check out the sleep calculator because it will give you insights to your sleep.


💡 Why Sleep Gets Trickier in Later Life

Sleep tends to get lighter with age. You may:

  • Wake up more during the night
  • Rise earlier than you’d like
  • Spend more time in light sleep and less in deep sleep
  • Nap more during the day

Add in medications, chronic pain, grief, or retirement’s loss of routine—and it’s no wonder sleep starts to feel like a mystery.

But here’s the truth: these changes are real, but they’re not irreversible.


✅ What Actually Helps

Our Sleep Strategies for Older Adults unit helps you rebuild your sleep from the inside out—with compassion and science.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Set a reliable sleep-wake rhythm after retirement
  • Use gentle sleep compression to improve quality without strict restriction
  • Manage medications and naps wisely
  • Work with your body through pain, not against it
  • Respond to grief, loneliness, and early waking with care, not panic

Most importantly, you’ll stop blaming yourself—and start responding with the skill and kindness you’ve earned through a lifetime of resilience.


🛠️ The Tools We Teach

We believe in giving you practical support that feels realistic, not rigid.

Here’s a glimpse at what seniors in our program walk away with:

  • A calming nighttime routine tailored to energy and comfort needs
  • Daylight and movement strategies to keep your internal clock steady
  • Self-compassion practices to handle disrupted nights or grief-related waking
  • A reframed sleep identity: from “I’m just a bad sleeper” to “I’m someone who knows how to support my rest”
