HOW TO SLEEP BETTER

The world’s leading “sleep doctor,” Dr. Michael Breus, has a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, is board certified in clinical sleep disorders and is an actively practicing sleep doctor who treats sleep patients with apnea, narcolepsy and insomnia. The doctor has worked for rock stars, Hollywood royalty, Oprah, he’s been on Doctor Oz over 30 times, and even helps average people. Dr. Breus says that of the hundreds of sleep tips he can advise, there is just one that tops them all. “Get up at the same time every morning,” he recommends. “We all long for that weekend sleep-in, but to be honest, it can make you take on a jet lag feel.” He says the more consistent you are with your wake up time – not your bedtime, but your wake up time – the better off you are because as soon as you wake up and you get that sunlight, it resets your circadian clock. “Wake up at the same time every day, including weekends.”
* Then he said, “Oh, my God, I just put myself out of business.”
* Sorry, but sleeping in on Saturday is worth the jet lag of a flight to Australia.
* I’ll bet “the world’s leading sleep doctor” was pretty mad when some other guy thought of “My Pillow”.
* So Oprah is now a separate entity outside of Hollywood royalty?
* As somebody who wakes up every morning at 4:30 to do a radio show, let me just say, Dr. Breus: Up yours.
