Are you suffering from sleep apnea, snoring, restless leg syndrome, or narcolepsy?
You don’t need to sleep like this forever.
Brain Processing
Sleeping helps to lock memories into your brain. When you’re sleep-deprived, you’re less able to remember things you learned while you were awake. Sleep also helps your brain regulate emotions. That’s why you might feel irritable and moody after a poor night’s rest.
Tissue Repair
While you sleep, your body is hard at work repairing itself by releasing proteins and hormones that help restore damaged tissues, including muscles. If you’re sleep-deprived, your body heals more slowly. This tissue repair process is also important for helping athletes build muscle and recover from a workout.
Immune System Function
Sleep helps boost your body’s ability to fight illness. During slumber, the body produces cytokines — proteins that direct immune cells to fight inflammation throughout the body.
Researchers have also found that sleep deprivation increases your body’s production of white blood cells, the same response the body shows when exposed to significant stress. That imbalance in your immune system is associated with illnesses such as heart disease.
High blood pressure. During normal sleep, your blood pressure goes down. Having sleep problems means your blood pressure stays higher for a longer period of time. High blood pressure is one of the leading risks for heart disease and stroke. About 75 million Americans—1 in 3 adults—have high blood pressure.
Type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is a disease that causes sugar to build up in your blood, a condition that can damage your blood vessels. Some studies show that getting enough good sleep may help people improve blood sugar control.
Obesity. Lack of sleep can lead to unhealthy weight gain. This is especially true for children and adolescents, who need more sleep than adults. Not getting enough sleep may affect a part of the brain that controls hunger.

Meet Dr. Rich Baez
Dr. Rich Baez has dedicated his life to understanding the true cause of long term health problems. He believes the most important question to ask when it comes to poor health is WHY. Why is the body not healing. Why did the surgery not fix the problem. Why am I still suffering after years of treatment. When that question is answered, good health follows. Dr. Rich believes that the body is supposed to be healthy, that is its default setting. Once the WHY is corrected, the body will begin to heal, and good health will follow.
