The state of mind is the most important aspect of dying. It is important to die with an alert and happy mind so that it is an alert and happy mind that enters the bardo state between rebirths. The length of life in that sense is irrelevant as the mind-stream simply continues. It is the capacity of the mind to be present and aware in the moment that either moves your consciousness in the direction of greater openness or greater confusion.
