Summary
Why does sleep seem to get harder and harder in midlife?! What the heck is causing it and what can we do about it?! How can we get more sleep in midlife? In this conversation with neurologist and sleep technology pioneer Dr. Dan Cohen, we discuss surprising insights about sleep, aging, and an innovative approach to improving both: Soltec. We explore the importance of deep, restorative Delta sleep and the role of different sleep stages.
As the inventor of the first sleep diagnostic equipment in the mid-1980s and the creator of the Soltec sleep system, Dr. Cohen shares some startling facts about our sleep patterns, especially as we age, and why they matter so much for our health. Whether you're struggling to stay asleep or seeking ways to optimize your sleep, this episode offers invaluable insights and practical solutions.
