PLANNING FOR LATER LIFE 095
8 GREAT TIPS TO SLEEP WELL
1. Keep regular bed and waking times.
2. If you do wake in the night, or need to go to the loo, don’t check the time.
3. Reduce, or cut out, caffeine. Sensitivity to caffeine increases with age. Also cut down on your fluid intake towards the end of the day.
4. Breathing exercises can help counterbalance stress and tension which might be preventing you from dosing off/ getting a good night’s sleep.
5. Ensure your bedroom is quiet, dark and not too hot – 16°C is ideal. As we age we are more easily woken and more sensitive to noise.
6. Put your devices away at bedtime. The inability to switch off from your mobile, tablet and laptop can seriously affect your sleep.
7. Take regular exercise and keep hydrated. Aim for a 30-minute, preferably brisk, walk at least three times a week. Walk outdoors – studies show that people who get adequate exposure to natural daylight sleep better.
8. Try to limit daytime naps to no more than 20 minutes and before 4pm.
SENIORS HELPING SENIORS OPENS NEW OFFICES
People who want to utilise their skills to help their communities are attracted to Seniors Helping Seniors because of the award-winning service it provides. As an ethical franchise achieving social impact, the opportunity appeals to people who want the security of running their own business within a supportive network of compassionate people, so they can focus their skills to do good for others. The sense of purpose comes as a breath of fresh air to the business owners and employees and customers sing the praises of this unique elderly care service. Keith and Barbara Reddy have joined the Seniors
Helping Seniors® teams working in Canterbury, Guildford and Harrow to serve Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, West Malling, Edenbridge, Swanley, East Peckham and Aylesford, plus all villages around and in between, from this month. Keith said: “Our key driver to own a Seniors Helping Seniors franchise was the
opportunity to work for ourselves whilst offering a much-needed ‘everyone wins’ service to the families in our community.” Business owners consistently give top marks for the training and support from Sally and Christian Wilse (pictured here with Keith and Barbara), who personally launched and run Seniors Helping Seniors in England. Six out of 10 franchises have turnovers exceeding £250,000 annually. Christian Wilse said: “No human should leave this earth without feeling love, dignity, and compassion. The more offices we open, the more people we can reach, the better and this type of
franchising reaches more communities. We welcome Keith and Barbara and we look forward to the team they create.” Ashford and Swale’s Seniors Helping Seniors opens this spring.
