Clinical Study
Couples, healthy aging, rhythms and sleep study (CHARMS)
As people get older they are more likely to have changes to their bodys rhythms, like waking up too early or in the middle of the night. As people get older, their sleep quality also goes down. We also know that sleep in one partner can affect the sleep of the other. Research is showing that having regular sleep/wake rhythms and good quality sleep can help your memory as you get older. The goal of this study is to understand how sleep in couples affects each others sleep and memory over a 2-year period.
