Over 25% of us have difficulty getting the sleep we need. As many as 10% of us have full blown insomnia. Does this sound like you or someone you know? Sleeping pills are only a short term solution and a poor substitute for Serotonin, which helps us relax.

This week we talk with Travis Usinger. Travis overcame his own sleep challenges using natural techniques such as yoga and meditation. For those facing serious issues with sleep, Travis will tell us about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Travis produces guided meditations on his website www.SleepYogi.com to help us unwind and get a restful night of sleep every night.
