Episode 15 Costs of sleep deprivation and how to avoid them

What happens if your body is deprived of good sleep for a long period of time?  As per the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, insufficient sleep has been linked to developing type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and depression. Conventional medicine's approach to sleep disorders falls short because they encourage reliance on sedative-hypnotics. This has taught us much about the biomedical view of sleep, but it has forgotten the sleeper.- which is you.  YOU  can do better than the medication to improve your sleep.
