Sleep

Doctors are famous for saying that sleep is the single most important activity for good health, mental and physical. It helps your brain and your body recover from a day filled with anxiety and stress. It gives you the energy to start all over again the next day.

It's also be one of the hardest things to do when your stress level is through the roof! How are you supposed to sleep well when you're worried about all the things that keep you from finding peace in the first place?! Getting rid of those things is crucial. Much of this web site is devoted to that.  But as you slowly work through those hardships, there are a few things you can try in the mean time. They’re not a cure, but they can help a great deal. By the way, NEVER use sleep medication without first consulting your doctor. A sleep study may be in order (you stay overnight in a sleep lab and they monitor you during sleep) before the doctor will prescribe anything.
