Sleep Deprived Women More Likely to Fall
A new study shows that women over 70 who manage to get only five hours of sleep are at a higher risk of falling and having an accident. Researchers measured the sleep time of 2,978 women and found out those who slept less than five hours were about 47 percent more likely to have fallen more than once.
“People think getting less sleep is just a normal aspect of aging,” said Katie L. Stone, the lead author and a scientist at the California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute. “But you should bring it to the attention of your physician. There are options available for treatment.”
