Sleep is one area of our daily life that is vitally important. Too little and you can experience brain fog, lack of energy, and an overall state of “blah”, but too much can leave you feeling sluggish and wondering if there is a deeper physical or mental issue at play. Attorneys, and other professionals with demanding jobs, can be notorious for not allowing themselves enough sleep time. Join Dr. Lee Brown, MD, and Pam Moore as they explore the topic sleep. Some of the areas discussed - how much sleep a person really needs, tips on how to set yourself up for falling to sleep at the end of the day, sleep cycles defined, sleep disorders and where to get help.
