Sleep More So Important

Studies show that 41 million adults in the US get six hours or less of sleep each night.

Many can’t get to sleep, others toss and turn, and more get up in the middle of the night due to pain, cramps, restless legs, thoughts, you name it.

Lack of sleep leads to an increased risk of heart disease and chronic inflammation. Disturbed sleep in men with restless leg syndrome have a 40% increase in risk of total mortality!

Many resort to sleeping pills or even anti-depressants even muscle relaxants. All have been linked to a wide variety of health hazards. Sleeping pills, for example, offer you a four-fold increase in the risk of death and a whopping 35% increase in risk of cancer.

I would like to offer you a much better, more natural way to increase your length, quality, and depth of sleep.
