will you Benefit from this SLEEP SERIES?

You get anxious during the night or often worry about your sleep
You wake up throughout the night and it takes >20 minutes to fall asleep again
You usually sleep alright, but want some tools for the occasional rough night
You have ‘daytime symptoms’ of poor sleep - low energy, mental fatigue, snappiness, anxiety, etc
You want more energy, patience in your relationships, and to feel more “on” during the day
You’re open to learn about what science and the ancients have been saying about sleep and dabble in some techniques
You want deeper sleep and more of it
SLEEP impacts EVERYTHING!
When you don’t get enough sleep, you know that you’re not going to have a very productive next day. When you have some nights in a row of that, it kind of builds on you.
Research shows these things happen when we don’t get the rest we need:
<8 hours of sleep = losing 10 years of testosterone
What you eat doesn’t really matter if you’re not sleeping well
4 hours of sleep for only one night = a 70% drop in your immune system’s fighting activity
Insufficient sleep is now correlated with Alzheimer’s and Dementia
>6 hours for several nights in a row = pre-diabetes (Metabolic Syndrome)
Sleeping pills should only be used as a short term strategy in combination with holistic methods designed to get to the root of the sleep issues
Join LIVE on Tuesdays at 12-1pm MDT on Zoom.
In this 6-week free online group program, you’ll come away with a holistic perspective on your sleep and ideas for your sleep success plan — so that you can sleep better and finally have the energy to focus on the things that are really important to you.
