How to fall asleep in 120 seconds
There is NO doubt that getting a good night's sleep is important, but for so many it can be very difficult. Research has shown that adults aged 18-60 need at least 7 hours of sleep per night and the effects of NOT sleeping enough are terrible! Heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, risk of stroke are ALL heightened when you don't get enough sleep. On top of that, not getting enough sleep can wreck your immune system, not to mention problems with weight, memory, sex drive and fertility. Clearly there are a lot of reasons to get some Zs, however, falling asleep is SO elusive for so many people. A lot of people complain about not being able to "shut off" their brain to fall asleep and it wreaks havoc with a lot of people. Well, here comes the military to the rescue!
