[Fan Letters].On the outskirts of the town lives an elderly couple who have entered the age of their lives. His father, Mr. Huang, is 60 years old this year, while his mother, Ms. Yang, is over the age of 57. They used to be a loving couple, but in the last year, some changes have made their family situation a little worrying.
A year ago, Mr. Huang set up a small pig farm in the countryside and invested a lot of time and energy. At the same time, some strange changes are taking place in their homes. They began to sleep in separate rooms every night, and Mr. Huang chose to spend the night in a modest hut on a pig farm. Ms. Yang spent long nights alone at home.
The last time Xiao Ming came home, he decided to get to know his parents' situation in depth. One night, he rummaged through some things in Mr. Huang's closet and stumbled upon a bottle of lube. This discovery made him feel very embarrassed, and he was a little overwhelmed by the various speculations that came to him.
In the traditional concept of Xiao Ming's family, he believes that his parents no longer need to meet their physical needs when they are older. They had never talked about senile sexual needs before, so this discovery shocked Xiao Ming. He began to wonder if there was a sexual problem between his parents, which bothered him greatly.
In order to understand Happy Head's doubts, Xiao Ming decided to be honest with his parents. He had an in-depth conversation with his father and finally understood the truth of the matter. It turned out that Mr. Huang was tired from working on the pig farm, and his physical condition gradually appeared some problems. He didn't want Ms. Yang to worry about his physical condition, so he chose to sleep in a separate room to reduce the burden on his wife.
The discovery of the lubricating fluid was due to the fact that Mr. Wong, on the advice of his doctor, used some auxiliary tools to maintain a harmonious relationship between the husband and wife. This also made Xiao Ming understand that senile sexual needs are not a kind of avoidance, but a part of normal life.
[Doctor's reply].There are still many misconceptions about the sexual needs of old age, and the resulting lack of communication. In modern society, with the improvement of medical standards, the elderly can still maintain a certain physiological vitality. Therefore, family members need to communicate more openly, understand and support each other to face the challenges of old age together.
Why do you feel less when you get older?
1. Physiological changes.
As we age, the human body undergoes various physiological changes, one of which is the adjustment of sleep patterns. Older people often experience a decrease in deep sleep and wake up easily during the night, which can lead to feeling less asleep. These physiological changes include decreased melatonin secretion, altered sleep structure, etc.
2. Health problems.
Older people often come along with health problems such as arthritis, diabetes, etc., which can cause pain or discomfort and affect sleep quality. Therefore, the older you get, health problems can be one of the important reasons for sleeping less.
3. Psychological factors.
As people get older, they may face more life stress, emotional distress and other problems, and these psychological factors can also have an impact on sleep. Psychological problems such as anxiety and depression may become factors for the elderly's sleep problems.
Why choose to sleep in separate rooms?
1. Different work and rest habits.
As an individual ages, their daily routines may change. Some people fall asleep earlier and wake up early, while on the other hand, they may have the habit of going to bed late and waking up late. In order to avoid interfering with each other, some couples choose to sleep in separate rooms to maintain their own schedules.
2. Prevent interruptions.
As people age, some people may wake up frequently at night and be more susceptible to noise in the environment. In order to avoid disturbing each other, sleeping in separate rooms becomes a solution.
3. Personal space needs.
As individuals age, their need for personal space may increase. Some people prefer to have a quiet space to themselves when sleeping, which is one of the reasons why they choose to sleep in separate rooms.
Scientific advice and ways to improve sleep quality
1. Exercise regularly.
Scientific studies have shown that moderate regular exercise can help improve sleep quality, especially for older adults. Reasonable exercise can promote physical health and adjust sleep patterns.
2. Maintain regular work and rest.
Maintaining a regular sleep schedule and trying to fall asleep and wake up at the same time can help adjust your body clock and improve the efficiency of falling asleep.
3. Create a good sleeping environment.
Maintaining a quiet, dark, cool sleeping environment can help improve the quality of sleep. The use of suitable pillows and mattresses is also an important factor.
By understanding the relationship between age and sleep, and the reasons for sleeping in separate rooms, we can better understand and cope with the sleep challenges that come with age. Scientific advice and improvement methods can help seniors maintain good sleep habits and improve their quality of life. At the same time, choosing to sleep in separate rooms is also a manifestation of individual differences, and respecting and understanding each other's needs is an important factor in maintaining the relationship between husband and wife.
