Why Sleep Matters More Than You Think After 50 | Boomers, Bucks, and Bling Episode 25


What if your memory, energy, and overall health all came down to one thing… your sleep?


In this episode of Boomers, Bucks & Bling, Carl sits down with fitness coach and educator Mark Alexander-Warne to talk about why sleep is one of the most overlooked pieces of healthy aging — and how it impacts everything from brain health to weight, stress, and decision-making.

They break down how REM sleep supports memory and cognitive function, while deep sleep is essential for physical recovery, immune health, and overall wellness — especially as we get older.

Plus, simple habits you can start right away to improve your sleep quality and feel better day-to-day.

We cover:
 • Sleep and memory, brain health, and cognitive decline
 • Deep sleep, recovery, and immune function
 • The connection between sleep, weight gain, and hormones
 • How poor sleep affects mood, stress, and decision-making
 • Simple routines to improve sleep and fall asleep faster

Perfect for Baby Boomers, retirees, and anyone focused on better sleep, healthy aging, and improving overall quality of life.
