Why do we end up sleeping less and less as we age?
Research shows that folks over 43 often have trouble falling asleep, wake up more often throughout the night, and have less deep recovery sleep...
The vital type of sleep that the body needs to heal, repair and restore its daily functions.
Now the reason for this is simple…
Many of us are losing our ability to dream efficiently.
Even though you may not remember all your dreams… just know that your brain must dream every night to fall asleep!
And most importantly, dreams help your brain and body transition into the deepest and most crucial part of your recovery sleep.
BUT here's the issue…
As we age, the creative (Dream Creation & Memory Recall) part of the brain shrinks…
Also known as the prefrontal cortex, this part of the brain allows us to dream vividly and thus enter the deepest stages of sleep each night...
And when this brain shrinkage happens… the brain will have difficulties creating those dream fantasies like we once could…
That's why as folks get older… we end up sleeping less and less…
Until we're just sleeping a few hours a night… which makes us feel like we never really slept.
This leads to severe fatigue the next morning and can even cause short- and long-term memory issues… (even simple stuff like remembering where we put our keys every morning.)
Beyond memory loss, we end up waking up with feelings of anxiety and a racing heart… which often carry over to the next night and hinder our sleep even more.
