SpainAs people age, their sleep patterns change significantly. Many individuals feel they are sleeping less as they grow older, and this perception aligns with reality. A well-known meta-analysis published in 2004 in the journal Sleep concluded that total sleep time decreases linearly by approximately 10 to 12 minutes per decade during adulthood until reaching 60 years old, after which it stabilizes. The study also found that the proportion of time spent actually asleep in bed drops to around 80% for 70-year-olds, compared to 95% during adolescence.
