Client Testimonial My client Wes said: “I’m doing great. I’m getting back to sleep when I wake up in the middle of the night. I still wake up most nights, but I’m able to get back to sleep fairly quickly. I’m sleeping 7-8 hours a night. I feel really good. Physically, I feel better. Mentally, I feel better. And even nutritionally, I have gained a little weight, not a lot, but a couple of pounds here and there, but that’s probably good. I feel great. I’m doing really well. And in general, just happier. I’m not worried about sleep. It’s not constantly on my mind. It was consuming so much of my thinking throughout the day, and now I’m not worried about it. I sleep well. I look forward to going to bed. And I wake up pretty refreshed. I’m doing really well.” Show Notes If you Google "how to sleep better" you'll find the same tips: don't watch screens before bed don't drink caffeine past 2 p.m. follow a relaxing bedtime routine exercise everyday etc. These tips don't work for most people with chronic insomnia and I explain why in this episode. We can help you get 7+ hours of consistent, uninterrupted sleep.
