5 common health flags one starts ignoring after 45 (but should not)

Sleep quality deteriorates significantly after age 45, because of the combination of menopause symptoms, hormone fluctuations, stress factors and medical illnesses. Sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, insomnia etc, can be identified through symptoms including difficulty falling or staying asleep, along with insomnia, frequently waking up, and night sweats in women, and excessive daytime sleepiness. Sleep disorders that continue over time, lead to impaired mental functioning, poor cardiovascular health and weakened immunity, together with emotional state deterioration.
