Over 40 million people in North America are diagnosed with sleeping disorders with another 20 million experience occasional problems.  As technology advances, we see disruptions in our circadian rhythms having a negative impact on our sleep patterns.  Work, chores, babies, jetlag, stress, parties, or late-night movies are just a few but they all take a toll mentally and physically.  While we sleep, our bodies secrete hormones that affect our mood, energy, memory, and concentration. Recent studies show the impact of chronic lack of sleep on high blood pressure and those with diabetes.  In addition to practicing good “sleep hygiene”, there are many natural remedies including melatonin, herbal medicines, CBD, and essential oils that promote all stages of sleep.
