I accepted the fact that insomnia was something that would happen every now and then. I didn't understand why I woke up at 3 a.m. every morning, so I stopped fighting this cycle. I don't like to take medications to sleep, so I learned how to become friends with my insomnia.

Insomnia Is Costing You More Than You Think

Especially lawyers and doctors, and other professionals in high stakes careers being sharp and focused isn't just a choice; it's a necessity, yes, it is amust-have.

You deal with big decisions. Constant demands. Heavy responsibilities.

Or when you wake up feeling even more tired?

For many of you,insomnia isn't just annoying.

It's a real danger.

Lack of good sleep can hurt your judgment.

It can make you less patient.

It can just make you feel unwell, all over.

  • Body pain or constant stress?(Feeling tight, hurting, or burnt out, making sleep hard)

  • You sleep, but still wake up exhausted?(Hours in bed, but never truly feeling rested for the day)

Why You Can't Afford Another Night of Bad Sleep
