Slumber Sabotage

You may be familiar with numerous suggestions to enhance sleep, like minimizing late-night electronics use, avoiding eating late, and keeping your room chilly. But did you know that aging has an impact on how well you sleep, which may be the cause of your lack of restful sleep?

According to some research, 80% of adults either have problems sleeping at least once a week or wake up feeling weary. As you approach your thirties and forties, you experience greater difficulties falling asleep, more nighttime awakenings, and an overall decrease in the amount of time you spend getting restorative sleep. And as the years go by, that only gets worse.

Your body's inability to cope with your lifestyle choices as well as it once did is a contributing factor in the problem. It is more difficult to recover from evenings when you only get four to five hours of sleep. Also, because of how poorly your body processes alcohol, those beverages may cause you to wake up more frequently or have less restful sleep.

Slow wave sleep, also known as deep non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, often gets worse as you get older. And it's these slow waves that can maintain cognitive function and memory while keeping your brain young.

The advice at the top will be useful if you want to sleep a little better when you wake up. Yet exercise might be your best-kept secret for getting deeper sleep. Your muscular tissue is destroyed while you workout. When you have slow-wave sleep, your body is primarily in repair mode. As a result, the more you exercise, the more your body compensates by increasing the amount of time it spends in slow-wave rest, which is exactly what gets shorter as you age. It is the ideal method for getting your body to perform more of what it requires.

Also, the rewards are worthwhile. As you become older, sleep deprivation is associated with various illnesses and health issues. So, exercising has two benefits: it improves your quality of sleep in addition to the health benefits of movement.

Till next time.
