You’re tired when you go to bed. You’re tired when you get up. That leaves you tired all the next day. Does this sound familiar? Are you in search of a good night’s sleep but too tuckered out to look?

Don’t Give Up!

Although most people don’t get enough sleep, they don’t always recognize the damage it can do to their mind and body. According to sleep expert Dr. Barry Krakow, “On a cellular level, the body is literally repairing and restoring itself. Without it, you can’t do what you want—physically or mentally.”

Insufficient sleep—less than the seven to eight hours you need every night—can interfere with your ability to think clearly, perform well at work, and maintain healthy relationships. You can experience mood swings, depression, difficulty focusing and making decisions, and memory problems. Sleep deprivation is also a significant factor in vehicular accidents.
