Adults sleep for 7-9 hours, and the elderly over 60 sleep for 5.5-7 hours. Sleep time here usually refers to the total sleep time of a day. It can be found that with the increase of age, sleep time is indeed shortened.

Some people go to sleep at eight or nine in the evening, wake up at three or four in the morning, and then they can't sleep again and again, even all kinds of anxiety.
