Dreaming your way to healthy aging
As the Philippines moves closer to becoming an aging society by 2030, health experts are drawing attention to a crucial but often overlooked aspect of well‑being: sleep. Findings from the Longitudinal Study on Ageing and Health in the Philippines (LSAHP) show that many older Filipinos experience sleep patterns shaped by long‑standing cultural habits and persistent health concerns. These factors, when combined, can significantly affect an older adult’s ability to maintain cognitive sharpness and physical strength. Researchers emphasize that addressing sleep issues early is essential to support healthy aging and improve quality of life for Filipino seniors (Demographic Research and Development Foundation, 2025).
