Sleep is the foundation of health, yet there are an estimated 3.3 million Canadians who either have trouble falling asleep or maintaining a deep sleep. Insomnia can be difficult to define, however if it takes you greater than 30 minutes to fall asleep at night or if you frequently wake throughout the night you are likely suffering from a form of insomnia. This can have severe consequences such as:
– Impaired concentration and focus affecting work and quality time with family and friends
– Decreased productivity at work
– Difficulties losing excess weight
– Decreased attractiveness when compared to those that are well rested
– Reduced energy and brain fog
– Connections with many other health conditions
