Think About It...
Everyone knows that a good nights sleep makes
the difference between feeling good or grumpy the
next day between functioning at peak performance
or stumbling sluggishly through the day.
Research tells us sleep is as vital to our health
and well-being as a balanced diet or regular
exercise. We spend one-third of our lives
sleeping, more time than working or playing.
24
SLEEP DISORDER STUDIES

better health.
Todays busy lifestyle, late meals, too much
coffee, irregular schedules, and unnecessary
stress can cause sleep problems.
