Once you’ve ruled out breathing problems that destroy sleep, it’s time to look at routines and habits. The timing of when you consume calories and drink fluids significantly impacts how you sleep.

There are many more. This gives you an idea of where to start.

The most comprehensive step that will give you great results is complete testing that includes genetics, hormone, gut biome, and other tests that provide a physician with a clear picture of your overall physiological state.

As you resolve imbalances or problems in your health, your sleep can improve.

Genetic testing reveals if you have a predisposition to sleep disturbances and can be treated with tremendous precision to support your weaknesses in this area with over-the-counter supplements targeting your unique imbalances.
