Lack of sleep is a much bigger factor in failing health than most people realize. And not just in children or teenagers!

When I became organized and able to stick to a strict sleep routine my blood pressure plummeted to a normal reading! I was delighted. The doctors were no longer nagging me to keep it down. (In fact the anticipation of their nagging would have the inevitable result of raising it every time I went to the doctor!)

And apatrt from the obvious, such as being able to hold my concentration for longer, being less irritable etc, I am in a LOT less pain.
