To sleep, perchance to dream

Quantity and quality of sleep are two of the biggest challenges I hear from my clients, and it’s no surprise. Here are some sleep facts that illustrate how big a problem this is:

• One study estimates the annual cost of workplace errors and accidents linked to insomnia at $31.1 billion
• If it takes you less than five minutes to fall asleep at night, you’re probably sleep-deprived. Ideally, falling asleep should take 10 to 15 minutes.

In this video, I discuss the methods I’ve used to help my own sleep and that of my clients.

I also recommend two important books that offer great ideas - below are the links to them:

• Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams
• Sleep: The Myth of 8 Hours, the Power of Naps, and the New Plan to Recharge Your Body

Here’s one more sleep fact you likely didn’t know: sea otters hold hands when they sleep, so they don’t drift away from each other.

🦦 Aww.
