This year I increased my time getting sunlight and grounding. I also started wearing blue light blocking glasses. I now get better sleep numbers. My deep sleep number has greatly increased.
Sleep makes a difference for me when I hit the seventh hour. On the days I awake at 3 am, I’m bloated, and a little foggy. Even though I can storm through the day, I notice I’m not as peppy and focused.
Having lived abroad for over a decade, flying across multiple time zones many times, we developed a plan for combatting jet lag. Take a nap of no more than an hour. Then get up & carry on with the locals. Works for us. For whatever reason, we find the east to west crossing easier than the reverse.
Due to age-related challenges, sleep is an increasingly precious commodity. Good nights make for the best days.
I think physical inactivity is the demise of many. It’s right up there with clean food. I went to a backyard get together today. We sat a lot visiting and eating. When I got home, my ankles were swollen. That was a first for me.
I agree sleeping is via tally important and regular physical exercise helps me sleep. When traveling it depends on the time zone how we handle it. If we travel to Europe we take a nap for an hour or two and then jump into the local time if we go to the west coast then we just go to bed early the first night and then fit into the local time for the rest of the trip.

Enjoy those spectacular skies, Dr. Steve!
