Sleep is natural. Sleep is normal. Drug induced sleep sounds a bit odd. Sleep meds have their place but in many cases, you know how to sleep. You were born with the gift of knowing how to sleep. The problem is that we fight our natural instinct to sleep and we place sleep near the bottom of the priority list.

For many of us, when we take off from work or go on a holiday, then we are able to sleep “like a baby” without meds. Why? Because we place sleep higher up on our priority list and our bodies do what they know how to do. Before asking for sleep meds, have you stopped getting in the way of your natural ability to sleep.
