Want better sleep in your older years? Time to grab some weights.
Exercise, but particularly those workouts that incorporate resistance to improve muscular strength, can be helpful for older adults with insomnia, according to a new study.
Insomnia can be a big problem, especially as you get older.
“Between 30% and 48% of seniors complain of sleepiness, while 12–20% have insomnia problems,” said the authors in the study published Tuesday in the journal BMJ Family Medicine and Community Health.
And sleeplessness has been linked to conditions including depression, anxiety and metabolic syndromes, the study added.
