A restless mind that won’t shut down at night

You might discover the answer to your stress and anxiety in your sleep!!! Most people don’t realize this, but a very common cause of many mental problems including stress and anxiety is lack of sleep or rather, lack of quality sleep. If you need more than 30 minutes to fall asleep, or if your sleep is interrupted often and you have difficulty in falling asleep again, then read on.
Lucky for us (not so lucky for him though) filmmaker Alan Berliner has struggled with sleep disorders and has even made a documentary WIDE AWAKEon this topic.

“A brilliantly edited blend of the hilarious and deeply personal, WIDE AWAKEweaves hundreds of archival film clips, consultations with sleep specialists, an overnight stay at a sleep lab, conversations with family members, home movies, dream visualizations,….”

Lack of quality sleep can make you:

Feel stressed
Make performing even simple tasks difficult
Impair short-term memory, concentration and alertness
Increase the chance of being in an accident
Slow your body’s ability to fight disease and repair tissue.
