难曰：老人卧而不寐，少壮寐而不寤者，何也？然：经言少壮者，血气盛，肌肉滑，气道通，荣卫之行不失于常，故昼日精，夜不寤也。老人血气衰，肌肉不滑，荣卫之道涩，故昼日不能精，夜不能寐也，故知老人不得寐也。

《难经》西汉·扁鹊

Question: Why do the elderly unable to sleep soundly, whereas the young and strong can sleep easily and not easily woken up?

Answer: The medical scriptures say: Young people are full of qi, blood and have smooth meridian flow so they are full of energy during the day, and are able to sleep soundly at night. The qi and blood of the elderly have deteriorated, the meridian flow have also become stagnant, so the energy is not sufficient during the day, and also unable to sleep soundly at night.
