Why am I wide awake in the middle of the night?

from Sarah Has Questions

One in four Americans has insomia each year. That's a lot of sleepless nights. Sarah is a master sleeper, but with her schedule on morning radio, she gets up super early, and likes a daily nap. Is that a normal sleep pattern? Her totally unfiltered sleep-related questions include: Why is it so hard to go back to sleep after we wake up? What is good "sleep hygiene"? How do depression, stress and anxiety affect sleep patterns? Can a nap be "too long"? Who needs more sleep: babies, teens, adults or seniors? Should our bedrooms be totally dark? When should we see a doctor about those sleepless nights? The guest for this episode is Dr. Nerissa Price, a  psychiatrist from WakeMed who says we should use our bedrooms for two things...sleep and sex! Find out more about her at www.wakemed.org.
