Not usually. Most people over 60 don't sleep in or nap a lot. I think it's probably because their bones get achy.

I am an older guy. 78. I think, generally, we are less motivated, when we get older. The urgency to walk, cut the lawn or socialise becomes less important. And we tend to do chores 'in our own good time'. Probably less organised, too. There are exceptions, of course. When youger, we are more motivated by finding a job (income), finding a home, a mate. Then children normally give a busier life and urgency to everything. Lucky folks have a talent, music, sport etc. at which they excel, which in turn provides the wealth to have a better quality of life and freedom.

Answer:

It's not nessessrily that older people get lazier, their bodies are just slowing down as a result of the harsh effects of the aging process. Dont judge the elderly too harshly, because one day those that are young will not stay youn, they will get old as well if they keep living.

This is a portion of an Awake arricle on jw.org: While seeking to remain reasonably healthy, however, we should be realistic and recognize that there is very little that we can do to slow down the aging process or avoid all sickness. Ecclesiastes chapter 12 paints a vivid picture of "the calamitous days" that accompany old age in the case of imperfect humans. (ReadEcclesiastes 12:1-7.) White hair is compared to the blossom of "the almond tree." Legs are likened to "men of vital energy" that now bend and totter. Ladies who go to a window in search of light and find only darkness are a fitting illustration of dimming eyesight. Since some teeth are missing, "the grinding women have quit working because they have become few."

3 Shaky legs, failing eyesight, and toothless gums are certainly not what God originally purposed for mankind. Moreover, death inherited from Adam is one of "the works of the Devil" that God's Son will undo by means of his Messianic Kingdom. The apostle John wrote: "For this purpose the Son of God was made manifest, namely, to break up the works of the Devil."-1 John 3:8.

How does using steroids lead to strokes and heart attacks?

What do steroids do? They increase your muscle strength and size. What is your? a muscle. What does steroids do to your body? Makes it larger increasing the stress on you're heart to pump the blood. That's why most over sized people die of some kind of heart disease. The heart can only take so much the bigger you are the harder your heart has to work. Not too mention also that steroids also messes with your hormone level. Meaning your hair and teeth will die and fallout prematurely. Oh, yeah if you're a guy your balls will shrink, if you're a girl get use to that black thick hair that you had little of before and now have to shave weekly or daily. They aren't worth it you risk all that for what a few muscles that are going to turn into fat anyway. If you're lazy enough to do put the work in to get that big in the first place, you're probably just as lazy to keep it in place.


Why do men lose muscle mass as they age?

Men typically lose muscle mass as they age due to a combination of factors, including a decrease in testosterone levels, reduced physical activity, and lower protein intake. These changes can lead to muscle atrophy and a decrease in muscle strength and size over time. Regular resistance training and a balanced diet can help mitigate muscle loss with age.
