Study shows that as people age, the quality of a person's sleep decreases. And there is one aspect that many people over 60 years of age cannot sleep properly – stress.
Scientists from the University of Helsinki assessed how various types of stress affect 40 older people who are already approaching retirement age or have stepped over it. The first study involved 2,700 people and assessed physical and mental work conditions, stressful life events and work-life balance. An additional 4,000 people participated in the additional study, of which more than half of the men and 70% of the women reported sleep problems.

Based on these two observations, the researchers identified four stress-related factors that interfere with sleep. These include physical stress and shift work, psychosocial stress, non-work related social and environmental disadvantages, and non-health life events and problems at work. The more work-related and non-work-related stressors people had, the more sleep problems they had. At the same time, different types of stress affected sleep in different ways. Work stress caused persistent problems, and non-work related stress meant more such problems in the future.
