Get Your Best Night’s Sleep

Dr. Michael Breus, “The Sleep Doctor,” explains the importance of sleep, consequences of not getting enough shut-eye, and how to have your best night’s sleep.
Sleep is something that has become a luxury, not a staple... at least for many people.

From new moms and dads being awoken every couple of hours to the insomnia that can occur due to daily stress, people are lacking those ever-important Zzzzzs.

Ahead of Sleep Awareness Week, Dr. Michael Breus, “The Sleep Doctor,” joins Dr. Darria to discuss the importance of sleep, consequences of not getting enough shut-eye, and how to have your best night’s sleep.
