An ongoing, functional look at all the things affecting BRPT patients, their health and success.)

Please take the time to open the photo above to learn the details. I will share more details from the sleep science book in our next article, but one of the most valuable things I learned for myself is that avoiding afternoon coffee helped be break the cycle of sleepiness. For me, understanding the science is important. Once I understand the “WHY” it becomes easy to shift and change my habits.
Remember, in life we may not always be able to make the big changes. If you have a pressing project, busy work week or children that limit your sleep volume … sleeping 7-9 hours a night may not be a possible goal for you at this time. But if we can shift the QUALITY of time spent in bed, we can start benefiting from what is in our control.
