Named the main reasons for the deterioration of sleep in middle age

With the onset of middle age, sleep in many people becomes less deep, and awakenings in the middle of the night become more frequent. Experts explain this by a gradual restructuring of circadian rhythms and a reduction in the duration of deep phases of sleep.

Quality rest can also reduce chronic illness, pain, and certain medications. Among other factors, experts distinguish a decrease in melatonin production, insomnia, restless legs syndrome and obstructive apnea. In women, an additional cause is often hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause.

Lifestyle and everyday activities contribute. Lack of physical activity, an unstable regime, work, family responsibilities and worries about money or relationships can interfere with a full recovery.

Sleep problems can form a vicious circle. Poor-quality night rest increases the level of anxiety and anxiety during the day, which, in turn, can make it even more difficult to fall asleep.

Doctors called the worst time to go to bed.

Named a sign of aging associated with alcohol consumption.
