Last week in my clinic, I met Janet, a 62-year-old former accountant.
“Doctor, I find myself forgetting things all the time,” she confessed, her eyes filled with worry.
“My husband believes I’m simply not listening to him, but the truth is, I genuinely can’t recall the conversations we had yesterday, let alone a week ago.”
Her voice trembled as she continued, “I fear my memory is only getting worse.”
Hearing about concerns like this from patients is always hard to bear.
Because I often see patients like Janet…
Patients worried about their weakening memory, worsening brain fog, and what further challenges may be down the road.
Yet often there’s a simple solution...
A solution which helps strengthen and support your brain’s performance at any age.
See, after asking Janet a few questions, I instantly knew what to recommend.
The solution?
To get more sleep! I know, this may sound trite, but…
Janet hadn't slept well in years.
She had a stressful job, often worked late into the night, and she’d drink a couple of glasses of wine at bedtime to relax.
Now, I never like to lecture people.
Yet as her doctor, I felt it my duty to tell Janet a few harsh truths...
How her poor sleep wasn't just making her more forgetful…
Years of poor sleep had turned her brain into a toxic dump.
Allow me to explain why…
Your brain has a cleaning system called the "glymphatic system".
Think of it as like your brain's clean up crew which springs into action when you’re asleep.
When working properly, the "glymphatic system" flushes away waste materials which build up during the day.
However, when you fail to get enough deep sleep…
This waste removal system breaks down.
Toxic proteins and cellular garbage then piles up in your brain.
These toxins then interfere with your brain cells, disrupting how they talk to each other.
You then struggle to remember names…
You can’t focus on your book for more than a few pages straight…
And you easily forget conversations you had yesterday, let alone last week.
Even worse, your risk of serious brain decline SKYROCKETS.
As I explained this to Janet, her eyes widened in shock.
However, when I shared how simple it could be to get more hours of deep, uninterrupted sleep each night — the tension in her shoulders eased and she expressed how hopeful she was for the first time in a long time…
The simple ‘secret’ is a bedtime ritual which helps calm stress… restore proper deep sleep cycles… and give your brain’s cleanup crew more time to clear out neural trash.
Janet was still a bit skeptical...
Yet she agreed to give my bedtime ritual a try.
A few weeks later she returned to my office.
And I could see from the glint in her eyes and wide smile it had worked.
She told me she now enjoyed her best sleep in years—every night!
Her memory had improved dramatically… she could remember conversations with her husband more clearly...
While people at the office even commented on how much sharper she seemed.
So if you're struggling with memory issues and poor sleep like Janet used to…
