Summary: Many of us have trouble getting a good night’s sleep and suffer from insomnia. In this show, I discuss in depth why sleep is important, how the sleep cycle works, the effects of being sleep deprived and the different levels of insomnia. I also go over causes of insomnia and what we can do to change our sleeping habits, so that we get a good night’s rest. Some references I used were <a title="webmd.com" href="http://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/tc/insomnia-topic-overview">webmd.com</a>, <a title="4woman.gov" href="http://www.4woman.gov/faq/insomnia.htm">4woman.gov</a> and <a title="Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insomnia">Wikipedia</a>.<br> <br> I end the show with a question from Jennifer regarding the salt content in sports drinks or electrolyte replacement drinks.<br> If you like the show, please head on over to <a title="iTunes" href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=285124681">iTunes</a> and give me a nice review.
