In the fourth session, gaining knowledge and understanding about the effect of nutrition, activity and consumption of substances such as cigarettes, alcohol and hookah on sleep. Then, since based on a preliminary study that was done experimentally by the researchers, it was found that watching an educational film 4 times is a suitable number for the number of times of watching an educational film among the elderly; Therefore, the elderly will be asked to watch this educational video 4 times. Since at the end of the step-by-step training videos, assignments and tasks corresponding to the materials presented in each session are specified for people, seniors will be asked to do the assignments and tasks presented at the end of each session. Also, the researcher will contact the elderly members of the intervention group 1 or 2 times per week in order to ensure that the elderly use the educational videos, control and follow up on the tasks and assignments and answer the questions. Also, in necessary cases, the researcher will visit the elderly person's place of residence, control and follow up to ensure that the elderly person uses the educational video and carry out the recommendations and assignments. From the beginning of the second week, the elderly who are able to go in person to receive the educational CD will be requested to go to the designated comprehensive health center at the beginning of the second, third and fourth weeks to receive the CD related to the educational video of that week. Also, for the elderly who are not able to go in person to receive educational videos, CDs related to educational videos will be sent every week, and phone follow-up will be done to ensure that the videos reach the elderly.
