What will be an ideal response?
A profile for typical sleep patterns includes spending more time in bed than in earlier
years, taking a long time to fall asleep, waking often, taking naps, and feeling

sleep patterns include avoiding naps, reducing time lying awake in bed,
compressing their nightly sleep time, and realizing that changing sleep patterns
occurs naturally with age.
