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


This episode is for you if...

  • You've noticed your anxiety creeping up and you can't really explain why
  • You wake up and don't feel rested even after a full night
  • You've been chalking things up to "just getting older" and want to actually do something about it
  • You're a sleep nerd, or want to be one
