by Richard Kuehn on 05/04/15
Millions of people have difficulty falling asleep and staying sleep. However, Richard Share, Ph.D., the founder of Sleep Easily LLC believes there are ways that people can sleep better without the use of pills. Sleep disturbances have found to be correlated with an increase in motor vehicle crashes, fatigue-related errors, heart attacks, diabetes, pain, stress, anxiety, depression, irritability and weight gain. Researchers have found that being awake after 18 hours is the equivalent cognitive impairment as drinking two beers. After 24 hours of being awake, you are so cognitively impaired that it’s equivalent to being under the influence of the legal alcohol limit in all 50 states. An independent study of a learn-at-home non-medication method which was tested by firefighters, airline pilots and police officers found an 81.6% improvement in sleep from participants. This is simply training the mind to relax so that you can get a good night’s rest.
