The secret connection between anxiety, sleep. You may have experienced sleepless nights when you were anxious, stressed or too excited. Such emotions are well-known to affect wakefulness and can even cause insomnia, though the underlying mechanisms in our brain have still been unclear. Scientists have spotted neurons that play crucial roles in connecting emotions and sleep, shedding light on the future discovery of drug targets for anxiety disorder and/or sleep disorders.

The ability to get a good night of sleep is lost on a lot of us as we get older and some of the things we have seen in our lives. I know I do not have to remember the bad times in life as I get reminded of them quite often. It is the good times that I try to remember so I can pass some of those joyous moments back to the kids and the grand kids. I always tell them to sleep at least eight hours when they can.
