79: 6 things to do (and 3 not to do) when you can't sleep

I wake up almost every night to pee and then go right back to sleep. But when I wasn’t sleeping well, I wouldn't be able to fall back asleep for hours.

Waking up in the night and not being able to fall back asleep is so frustrating! I remember lying in bed feeling so desperate because I was so frigging tired but I couldn’t sleep no matter what I did.

While I help my clients with underlying health imbalances that affect sleep, there are also some things you can try to fall back asleep more quickly.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • 6 ways to fall asleep faster
  • 3 things you shouldn’t do in the middle of the night
  • An important mind hack for better sleep

If these tips don't help most of the time, then there are hidden health issues that are keeping you awake.

In the Complete Sleep Solution program, we use functional lab testing to find those physical imbalances.

And we make sure your mind doesn’t sabotage your sleep with stress and anxiety.

It’s the only natural body and mind program that gets to the root of why you can’t sleep.

If nothing else has worked, it’s time to get to the root of the problem.
