How to Sleep Better


For Better Health

Everyday, we work, exercise, eat, and have mental stress. These are functions that all wear on our bodies and if we do not get good sleep to rejuvenate our body, it can lead to many health issues. A body needs exercise and a healthy diet. Just as important as those two needs, we need good sleep. During sleep our body is built back up and our brain is refreshed. You need 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night.

Americans typically are only getting about 6 1/2 hours on average, and we are at an all time high of health issues like cancer. Many studies have linked the lack of sleep to be one of the causes for our deteriorating health. In the lab, scientists are able to give a rat cancer by depriving it from sleep!

Sleep can boost your immune system, prevent cancer, aid in weight loss and reduce stress. Start living healthy- get better sleep!

Pressure points are the main cause of tossing and turning.
