This podcast with Nancy Rothstein, The Sleep Ambassador® , is sponsored by Sparkle 2002 Clinical Trial “It all started with a snoring spouse,” says Rothstein. In this podcast, we learn how Rothstein started to see sleep deprivation as something much larger than an inconvenient lost night of sleep. “No one can sleep for you, but you,” says Rothstein, who stresses that sleep is not something that can be "outsourced." According to Rothstein, technology and societal pressures have worked against our natural necessity to sleep, and the results can be devastating. How we work or play, what we eat and drink, and when we use our electronics, all affect our sleep. We explore this issue, its consequences in lost work productivity and in loss of years in a lifetime to the individual. Rothstein discusses some simple strategies to re-align sleep such as changing work habits, social behaviors and diet. For more information and resources visit The Sleep Ambassador®
