These Things Affect Your Sleep As You Get Older

Prostate problems

As men age, their prostate gland often becomes enlarged. One common symptom of this condition, known as benign prostatic hyperplasia, is an increased frequency of urination at night. Limiting fluid intake before heading to bed can help reduce the need to urinate during the night and avoiding known diuretics such as caffeinated drinks and foods like chocolate can also help.
