Why Am I So Impatient As I Get Older?

Published in Aging & Sleep 1 min read

A key reason you might be experiencing increased impatience as you age is due to a lack of quality sleep.

As we get older, our sleep patterns often change, and it can become more difficult to achieve deep, restful sleep. This lack of quality rest can significantly impact your mood and ability to manage stress. When you're not well-rested, your brain doesn't have the resources it needs to cope with daily frustrations, leading to increased irritability and impatience. Even small inconveniences can trigger strong reactions because your tolerance is diminished.

Therefore, addressing sleep quality may be a key step in managing your impatience.
