VZ 043: Sleep Well Naturally


Listen Later

"I have a big report due at work tomorrow."

"Where did I leave my keys?"
"I need to pick up the dry cleaning in the morning."
"Where did I leave my keys?"
"Kayleigh needs 3 dozen cupcakes for school on Friday."
"WHERE DID I LEAVE MY KEYS?"

With all of this going through you head as you turn out the lights at night, sometimes sleep just doesn't come.  Maybe you partied just a little too hard...the alcohol you enjoyed might prevent a restful night.  Smoker?  Did you know that withdrawals happening throughout the night keep you from achieving deep, refreshing sleep? While it is oh-so-easy and convenient to swallow a pill to help you drift off to dreamland, it's not a great idea...especially not when there are so many other things to try!

In this episode we discuss good sleep habits to form, bad ones to break, and natural methods to help you sleep soundly.
