I firmly believe that one of the major reasons I am thriving in my late 60s is that I am adamant about getting sufficient sleep. Almost without exception, wherever I am and whatever I am doing, I wake up at dawn, and go to bed early enough to get eight hours of sleep. Clearly, I could still get my eight hours by retiring later and rising later, but the pattern I follow does more than just give me sufficient sleep - it syncs my own circadian rhythms with those of the sun. I have found that this is best for my overall energy and well-being.Read the rest.

For older queer men have you any informative references, especially with respect to bone health, sciatica, kidney stones, diabetes, conditions that affect some guys or their partners as years go by
ReplyDelete@ Anonymous, re: older queer men's health:
ReplyDeleteI spoke with Dr. Magda Houlberg, Howard Brown Health Center's Director of Geriatric Medicine for some suggestions of good resources for the medical issues that you mentioned and that affect many older queer men. Here are two great suggestions from Dr. Houlberg:
First, http://www.asaging.org/networks/LAIN/recommended_resources.cfm is a really good website on LGBT again and lists a number of books with descriptions addressing these issues.
Also, "Men Like Us: The GMHC Complete Guide to Gay Men's Sexual, Physical, and Emotional Well-Being" by Daniel Wolfe is a comprehensive reference for men's health and includes a focus on age related diseases like osteoporosis and prostate health.
