"Younger people definitely laugh (even lightheartedly!) at the things older people tend to do, like napping, playing bingo, or eating dinner early. But recently, the BuzzFeed Community wrote in to share the "old person" habits they've adopted that actually make life way better - and it got such a great response that even more people shared habits of their own! So, from young and old alike, here are some "old person" habits that you might consider adopting for yourself:"
"God, staying off social media has been a game-changer. I've gotten so much more reading and restful sleep in, and am more productive. You think you'll be left out of the loop, but then when others try to share memes or reels with you that have been circulating about some political nonsense, you look it up and realize, nope, haven't missed a thing. I had a friend the other day show me this rabbit hole he's been down about some NY Republican's pants, and what?"
People of various ages adopt traditionally older habits that increase comfort, productivity, and wellbeing. Practices include playing cards with family, talking aloud to process thoughts, wearing slippers even while traveling, and calling instead of texting to preserve emotional connection. Limiting social media restores reading time, restful sleep, and focus while reducing exposure to viral distractions. Simple hobbies like crocheting and watching familiar shows promote relaxation. Rising promptly and keeping routines supports daily energy and longevity. These habits foster stronger relationships, reduced digital stress, more restful sleep, and greater life satisfaction.
