Make sure you understand the medications you are on and how you should take them. Sleeping pills can cause dizziness, confusion, and a hang-over feeling that increase the chances of falling. Changes in sleep patterns are a normal part of aging. Meet with your doctor for sleeping tips. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking sleeping pills.
High heels are more likely to get caught in the carpet and in holes.
They are also unsteady, compared to flat-soled shoes. Shoes without non-skid soles are dangerous because they do not protect you on carpet or slippery, wet surfaces. Closed-heel shoes are safer. Abandon the high heels. Choose heals that are less than 1 inches.
