5 Sleep Traps to AVOID for Better Sleep and Energy

While I’ve seen a lot of things in my 25 years as a sleep doctor, I’ve gotta say the hardest has been watching people fall into these same five sleep traps over and over again.

So in this video I want to walk through what those traps are and, more importantly, how to avoid them.

Because chances are, you’re probably doing at least one of these things and it is messing up your sleep!

Of course, everyone knows intuitively that good sleep brings good health. If you can just get enough, and good enough, sleep, you’ll be healthier, slimmer, and less stressed, anxious, and depressed. It is that simple.

But life is complicated. Sometimes the way we live doesn’t line up with getting a good night’s sleep night after night. In my decades as a practicing sleep doctor, I’ve isolated the Top Five Sleep Traps that rob people of consistently logging a good night’s rest. How many sleep blunders are you making?

So what if you don't look at the time and you just lay there and rest in the dark but your mind won't shut off

I just watched a video this Dr. Asian Dr. talks about losing hair and not sleeping them. Well, yeah, I cannot sleep very good. Sometimes I have tinnitus ringing in my ears. She recommends seeing a board certified sleep specialist. But I'm very reluctant to take sleeping medication. I do not snore. I don't know what I should do. Can you help me shed some light? On my issues

good video, but watch your audio. Set it to at least MINUS 12 db so the podcast records properly.
