The Lesser Known Link Between Deep Sleep & Anxiety as We Age (and What We Can Do)

If your anxiety seems to be getting worse as you get older . . . there might  actually a really specific, biological reason for that. 

And it has to do with something happening in your brain every single night. Or more accurately something that's stopped happening.

So today - we're breaking down a certain sleep stage that gets trickier with age, and how it's impacting our anxiety. 

We're covering: 

• The specific stage of sleep that acts as your brain's nightly anxiety reset (and what happens when you don't get enough of it)
• Why this isn't just about feeling "well rested" -  there's an emotional regulation piece most people have never heard about
• 5 evidence-backed ways to protect this stage of sleep - including one that costs literally nothing and you can try tonight
• The personal stuff: what I've has actually tested on himself that's moved the needle on his own deep sleep (mouth taping, kiwis, glycine..)
• today's feelgood thing
