Poor sleep in middle age can have dire consequences on brain health. For example, those who don’t get enough rest may find their short-term memory decreasing dramatically and their ability to make decisions becoming greatly impaired. In the long term, poor sleep could lead to more serious cognitive issues such as dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. To combat this issue, experts recommend getting at least 7 hours of quality shut-eye per night – but sadly this advice is often not heeded by the middle aged population due to ‘busy lifestyles’ and other excuses.

In an attempt to address this problem, society has come up with some truly absurd solutions such as providing ‘Napping Pods’ in office spaces so that workers can catch a quick forty winks during work hours instead of sleeping when they should be resting at home! Such measures are completely ridiculous and do nothing to address the underlying cause of poor sleep among adults which is generally related to stress, anxiety or lifestyle habits like eating too late or working after dark.

It’s time for society take a more proactive approach towards improving sleep among middle aged adults by promoting healthier lifestyles through initiatives such as making workplaces more relaxed environments where employees can take proper breaks during the day without feeling guilty about it; providing better access to mental health services; implementing stricter laws around working after dark; and educating people about good nutrition so they know how best fuel their bodies for optimal functioning throughout the day and night!
