Good Sleep
Good Sleep Is Sometimes Elusive
40 million people in the U.S. suffer from sleep problems every year, according to the FDA. The 2007 Sleep in America Poll www.sleepfoundation.org found that two-thirds of women surveyed experienced a sleep problem at least a few nights a week during the last month. Many of these women are in need of good sleep which refreshes and renews them, increasing healing and health.
Stress is one of the major causes of sleep problems.* Busy days with too much to think about, financial stress, family problems, worries . . . it's too easy to lie awake at night -- and be worn out the next day.
Deep Relaxation Aids in Good Sleep

Relaxation is a very important part of preparing for good sleep. Deep Relaxation allows your body and mind to settle down from the day's activities. It's then much easier to go to sleep, stay asleep, and sleep soundly.
