Is it true that sins are not recorded for a person after the age of seventy, and is a person held accountable for the period of their sleep?

There is no stating that a person granted a long life in Islam will be compensated for the acts of worship missed due to excessive sleep. The pen is lifted from the sleeper, meaning they are not held accountable for their actions during sleep in terms of religious obligation. However, they must guarantee restitution for anything they damage while asleep.
