Listen Later

How do you know if you're getting enough sleep? How much sleep do you really need? Is your sleep not what it used to be? Do you wake up at 3 a.m. and struggle to fall back asleep? Are you feeling sleep-deprived no matter how many hours you spend in bed?

A good night’s sleep is incredibly important for your health. In fact, it’s just as important as eating healthy and exercising. However, according to the CDC, about 70 million Americans have chronic sleep problems.
