Sleeping

Sufficient sleep is a known factor in good health and wellbeing. Yet, according to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than one-third of American adults are not getting enough sleep on a regular basis. The good news is it’s possible to get the rest you need. Health professionals can diagnosis and treat a wide range of sleep disorders, from insomnia to sleep-walking to surviving a snoring partner.
