Hello .Thanks for your question
Typically as people age they spend more time in light sleep.Deep sleep happens in the first sleep cycle. During this stage is very difficult to wake up a person that's why is defined as a nearly complete disengagement from environment.Thats why it's difficult to wake up to noises or touch. Nothing to worry about
Kind regards
