The amount of sleep ones body need gets less as you get older.
It is normal for infants to sleep up to 14 hours a day, even a bit more.
As you age, the need for sleep is less.
most 60+ sleep for approx 7 hours a night, with a short nap of half an hour during the day.
when older, often the need for sleep is increasing again.
In elderly homes in Denmark, most (but NOT all) goes to bed at 22 and gets up at around 7, breakfast served at 8. another sleep period from 15-16 and dinner served at 17.
This makes an effective sleep of up to 9-10 hours every 24 hours.
It is all individual though.
Some need only 7 hours and a few only 5 hours.
The brain is in need of some sleeptime, and without sleep we simply die after a while.
I would say that an average 63 years old should try for at least 7 hours a night, although don't force yourself if you simply can't sleep and feel ok with less. It is all individual needs and one should not follow statistics. Statistics can mainly only be used as a guideline.
If feeling tired through the day and have problems falling asleep, then some light drugs for helping you to sleep might be adviceable. Consult your doctor if this might be the case.
