sleep routines, comfortable sleeping environments, pay attention to food and drink
intake, physical activity and relaxation, avoid excessive naps, calm the mind, pay
attention to overall health. The purpose of this senior practicum aims to identify the
knowledge, attitudes, and actions of the elderly and measure the success of the elderly
