Improving Sleep
Trouble sleeping is often a sign that your nervous system hasn't shifted out of stress mode. Your Daily® can help you find better rest.
Understanding Sleep Issues
When your nervous system is activated, your body doesn't feel safe enough to sleep. You might experience:
- Trouble falling asleep
- Waking frequently during the night
- Waking up too early
- Not feeling rested even after sleeping
- Racing thoughts at bedtime
- Physical tension that keeps you awake
