Do you have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep at night? Do you wake up feeling tired and groggy? If you do, then you’re probably all too aware that sleep affects everything – appetite, mood, energy, how we feel about ourselves, even whether we’re nice and kind or irritable and cranky.

My friend, Joanne Eng, contributed the following article on insomnia, drawing from her research and personal experiences. It’s very informative and offers some wonderful tips on how to get a good night’s sleep. Joanne is currently pursuing her Master Degree in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine at Yo San University. Enjoy!

Have you ever had a really good night of sleep, waking up feeling rested and refreshed? It’s a wonderful feeling. You feel happy, energetic, and the world is a bright and wonderful place.
