One in four Americans has insomia each year. That's a lot of sleepless nights. Sarah is a master sleeper, but with her schedule on morning radio, she gets up super early, and likes a daily nap. Is that a normal sleep pattern?
Her totally unfiltered sleep-related questions include:
Why is it so hard to go back to sleep after we wake up?
What is good "sleep hygiene"?
How do depression, stress and anxiety affect sleep patterns?
Can a nap be "too long"?
Who needs more sleep: babies, teens, adults or seniors?
Should our bedrooms be totally dark?
When should we see a doctor about those sleepless nights?
The guest for this episode is Dr. Nerissa Price, a psychiatrist from WakeMed who says we should use our bedrooms for two things...sleep and sex! Find out more about her at www.wakemed.org.

What can I do RIGHT NOW to keep fill in the blank from happening in the future?
