Sleep impacts our Physical & Mental health, and is the foundations to many lifestyle interventions.

The Sleep Charity, revealed nine in ten people are experiencing problems with their sleep due to issues like sleep poverty and workplace stress, and yet the normalisation of poor sleep has resulted in 14 million+ suffering in silence with undiagnosed sleep disorders.

Dr Eidn sheds light on many sleep misconceptions. We discuss;

-common sleep beliefs and misunderstandings

-sleep solutions, including specific Insomnia CBT-I, with an 80% success rate

-steps you can start today

As promised, here is the wonderful quote that Dr Eidn shared 

“The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered "Man! Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

― Dalai Lama
