The morning mistake that can affect your life, especially after age 65

• Keep a lamp or nightlight by your bed so you’re not in the dark when you wake up.
• Remove loose rugs or low furniture near the bed to prevent tripping.
• Drink a bit of water in the morning to help your body get going.
• See your doctor if you often feel dizzy, as it might signal circulation or blood pressure issues.

Taking the time to get up properly may seem minor, but it can make a huge difference to your health.

After age 65, paying attention to these small steps helps preserve balance, avoid falls, and start your day feeling steady and energized.
