Heal Your Sleep for Life
Sleep problems in women are as common as they are complex. Medicine is just beginning to uncover the significance of disordered sleep in the health of women.

According to the National Sleep Foundations’s 2007 Sleep in America Poll, 67% of women frequently experience a sleep problem. 74% of “stay-at-home” mothers; and 72% of working mothers experience insomnia.

About 27% drive drowsy at least once per month and 10 % of this group did so with a child passenger!
