Insomnia Forum Posting

Hi,

I have noticed that I seem to heal very slowly, and I was wondering if this could be attributed to my lack of deep sleep. For example, I hurt my foot playing soccer about three weeks ago and it still hasn't shown much improvement. This is very annoying, because it stops me from being very active. Could this be because my lack of refreshing sleep or is it just that I'm healing a lot slower at 23 than I was at say 18. Any thoughts?
