The reason you can’t sleep isn’t because you’re deficient in Ambien.

You aren’t sleeping because your body isn’t healthy. Sleeping pills get your body even more out of whack. They’re a Band-Aid that doesn’t get to the root of the problem and makes everything worse.

I’m not judging you if you take sleep meds. I know how awful it is to not be able to sleep.

But if you don't want to take sleep meds, this episode is for you!
