How many nights have you struggled to fall asleep so you turn to sleeping pills? Depending how often you use them, you could risk relying on sleeping pills too often, which potentially could lead to an addiction.

According to the American Psychological Association, “at least 40 million Americans suffer from over 70 different sleep disorders and 60 percent of adults report having sleep problems a few nights a week or more.”

Yet, most experts agree, the best way to resolve insomnia or sleeping problems is to figure out the real reason why you can’t sleep. Instead of taking pills, sleep doctors help modify your behavior and figure out what’s keeping you tossing and turning at night.

The World Sleep Foundation was founded by professionals who are resolving sleep issues from insomnia to sleep apnea. There are many ways to learn how to sleep naturally, which for the long-term will strengthen your health much more than relying on pills.
