It&#8217;s also a top factor affecting sleep for people of all generations. However, there are other factors that can keep us awake at night too. In this blog, we&#8217;ll explore the top three factors affecting each generation&#8217;s sleep and provide &#8220;pro tips&#8221; for getting a better night&#8217;s sleep.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, let&#8217;s dive into the common sleep busters by generation and learn four tips for a better night\u2019s rest!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stress and Sleep: Generational Factors<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apa.org\/news\/press\/releases\/stress\/2022\/concerned-future-inflation\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stress<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can make it difficult to fall asleep and cause disruptions in sleep patterns. This will often trigger the body\u2019s stress response, leading to elevated levels of stress hormones further disrupting sleep and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleep.theclinics.com\/article\/S1556-407X(14)00124-6\/fulltext\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">negatively impacting<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> learning, memory, metabolism, and endocrine function.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding how stress affects sleep is key to improving your quality of sleep and overall health and well-being, but it&#8217;s also important to recognize that different generations face unique obstacles when trying to get a good night&#8217;s rest. Boomers and GenXers often struggle with body pain, while younger generations like Gen Z and Millennials are more likely to be kept up by financial worries. That&#8217;s why understanding these generational sleep stressors is crucial in developing effective strategies to improve sleep quality and overall well-being for people of all ages.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gen Z<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specifically, Generation Z (18- to 24-year-olds) shared that of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bettersleep.org\/research\/2021-state-of-americas-sleep-research\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">top impediments to a good night\u2019s sleep<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>39% report worrying about money or finances<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>36% report being too warm<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>34% report being too cold<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleep Tip #1: Keep Stress Out of the Bedroom<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re stressed about money or finances, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bettersleep.org\/blog\/effects-that-lack-of-sleep-has-on-work-performance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">working overtime<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at your job or trying to balance school and work, it can feel like the only time and place you can get your work done is in bed. However, it&#8217;s important to keep in mind that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bettersleep.org\/blog\/dont-let-studying-in-bed-sabotage-your-sleep\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">studying and working in bed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can create a negative association between the bed and activities other than sleep. This negative association can lead to difficulties falling and staying asleep and decreased sleep quality because your brain starts to associate the bed with active, stressful thoughts instead of calming, relaxing sentiments.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Millennials<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Millennials (25- to 39-year-olds) were also divided on what major factors were disrupting their sleep, specifically:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>38% report worrying about money or finances<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>34% report disturbances from body pain or aches<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>33% report being too warm<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleep Tip #2: Work It Out<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bettersleep.org\/blog\/tips-for-better-sleep-during-financial-stress\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dealing with financial stress?<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> One beneficial way to work through financial stress, as well as other types of stress, is to exercise. Regular exercise can improve sleep quality by reducing stress and anxiety, increasing the production of sleep-promoting hormones, and promoting physical tiredness that can make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep. Just 30 minutes a day of moderate aerobic exercise <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4341978\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">has been shown<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to support sleep.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to note that intense exercise too close to bedtime can have a negative effect on sleep. It can increase heart rate, body temperature, and adrenaline, making it difficult to fall asleep and disrupting the natural sleep cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gen X<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving up to Generation X (40- to 54-year-olds), of the top impediments to a good night\u2019s sleep:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>42% report disturbances from body pain or aches<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>40% report worrying about <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/bettersleep.org\/blog\/how-more-sleep-helps-you-save-money\/\"><b>money or finances<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>27% report being too warm<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleep Tip #3: Improve the Feng Shui of Your Room<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating an optimal sleep environment is crucial for getting a good night&#8217;s sleep, especially for GenXers who report disturbances from body pain or aches, worrying about money or finances, and being too warm as their top impediments to sleep. That\u2019s why making simple adjustments to your bedroom&#8217;s energy using <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bettersleep.org\/blog\/how-to-get-quality-sleep-during-stressful-times\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">feng shui may help you sleep better<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to feng shui, the bedroom should have a commanding position, detailing that the bed should face the door and sit elevated off the floor. This position can help promote a sense of safety and security, which can reduce tension and alleviate body pain or aches. Feng shui also suggests that clutter in the bedroom can represent unfinished business or unresolved issues, which can contribute to stress and anxiety. Incorporating relaxing colors like blues, greens, and browns into the bedroom decor can help promote a sense of calm and relaxation. Additionally, feng shui recommends keeping the room at a cool, comfortable temperature and having shades or blinds to block out light.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating an optimal sleep environment, whether you follow feng shui or not, is important for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bettersleep.org\/research\/survey-causes-of-good-and-bad-sleep\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sleep quality<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as it can promote relaxation, reduce distractions, and help regulate your body&#8217;s natural sleep-wake cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boomers+<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And lastly, Boomers+ (55+ year-olds) felt similarly to Generation Xers, with:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>43% report disturbances from body pain or aches<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>29% report worrying about money or finances<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>21% report being too warm<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleep Tip #4: Upgrade Your Mattress<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are waking up with aches and pains from sleeping on a mattress that is lumpy, saggy, or bumpy, then it might be <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bettersleep.org\/blog\/the-right-time-to-find-a-new-mattress\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">time to get a new mattress<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/17597575\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have shown that switching to a new mattress can significantly improve sleep quality and efficiency, as well as reduce minor <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bettersleep.org\/blog\/healthy-bones-sleep-tips\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">back pain<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
