Lack of sleep is one of the main factors that accelerate aging. Sleep plays a vital role in maintaining overall health and well-being, yet many people underestimate its importance. Recent events have exacerbated sleep problems among Israelis, with nearly half of the population dealing with sleep disturbances. Nightly disruptions impair the quality of sleep for many. Reiter emphasizes the importance of not allowing these disturbances to cause lasting damage to sleep patterns. “It’s important to ‘get back on the horse’—to make an effort to return to good sleep habits,” he advises. Maintaining consistent sleep and wake times helps form a healthy sleep cycle. Avoiding screens before bedtime is crucial, as the high blue light content inhibits the release of melatonin and delays falling asleep. “Be careful not to have screens in bed,” warns Reiter. “Maintain healthy patterns.” Establishing a regular evening routine with dim lights and calming activities before sleep can also aid in improving sleep quality. Encouraging exercise during the day helps regulate sleep, but it’s important to avoid exercising close to bedtime. Regular physical activity is important for health and sleep quality, but one should finish it two to three hours before sleep.
