Sleep Hygiene

In the united states there are more people deficient in sleep than anywhere in the world. Because being over scheduled is a status symbol in American culture, we lose time for sleep. However sleep is not something that should be over looked! I am the Massage Therapist for Empower Massage, I also suffered from insomnia for about eight years. One day I decided to make some healthy life changes, and magically I instantly became a former insomniac. Here are the reasons for my drastic improvements in my sleeping habits.


1. Stop eating fast food, and other processed foods

2.Get some sunlight during the day, this will release natural melatonin, and also supplement Vitamin D

3. Stop consuming large amounts of sugar

4. It is also my opinion that you should stop eating meats produced with artificial growth hormones



I have been sleeping like a baby since 2006, and have greatly improved my health. Now I want to share the information I have with everyone. I could not be where I am in my life right now if it was not for me improving my sleep habits. I would also like to point out that I do not take any prescription drugs, as it is well known that they have dangerous side effects!
