Sleep. What to do to get deep refreshing sleep

In this video by Dr. Michael Grossman, an anti-aging physician, the importance of sleep for health and rejuvenation is highlighted. Dr. Grossman emphasizes the often-overlooked role of sleep in maintaining vitality and discusses various factors that can affect sleep quality.

He points out that sleep is essential for overall wellness, and even a single night of poor sleep can lead to decreased cognitive function. Dr. Grossman explains the sleep cycle, which involves alternating between deep rest and dreaming, which helps the brain rejuvenate and dissolve stress. As people age, hormonal changes, particularly the decrease in growth hormone, can affect the quality of sleep. He suggests using growth hormone-releasing factors to enhance deep sleep.

Dr. Grossman discusses the significance of hormones like progesterone in sleep, mentioning that both men and women can benefit from its supplementation to improve sleep quality. He acknowledges the impact of lifestyle and recommends maintaining a consistent sleep schedule for optimal sleep.

Stress is identified as a major disruptor of sleep, causing overactive minds and anxiety. Dr. Grossman suggests several natural solutions to manage stress and promote better sleep, including melatonin, GABA, L-theanine, L-tryptophan, magnesium, and D-ribose. He also emphasizes the importance of addressing sleep apnea, a mechanical issue that can severely impact sleep quality and overall health.

In conclusion, Dr. Grossman advises viewers to consider meditation as a valuable practice for reducing stress and enhancing sleep quality. He invites questions and engagement through his office for further assistance. The video presents a comprehensive overview of how sleep affects health and offers a range of practical suggestions for improving sleep and overall well-being.
