Sleep is more than rest. It is as important for our bodies as diet and exercise.  

Not getting enough sleep raises the risk of many diseases — from heart disease and stroke to obesity and dementia. 

And it’s not just the amount of sleep that’s important — quality matters, too.

MPR News Angela Davis and her guest talk about how our sleep gets disrupted and what can we do about it. 

Guest:
