Health Tip: Insomnia Keeping You Awake?

  • Lying in bed awake for a long period of time before you're able to sleep.
  • Only sleeping in short bouts before waking.
  • Staying awake for most of the night.
  • Feeling exhausted, as if you had no sleep.
  • Waking very early in the morning.

    The stress levels in people are what keep them awake. Mind is racing and you can't shut it down. Worrying about your bills constantly. It's also the reason more and more people are having to take Prevacid or other acid reducer pills. Stress wreaks havoc on your mind and body.
