    Why does every sleep help advice video  always start with the perils of lack of sleep? WE KNOW! It's depressing to be constantly told this. That is why we are looking for help. We need sympathy,  understanding and help and not dire warnings about what we are doing to our bodies.

    Duke Energy is replacing the warm metal halide streetlights with these insanely bright LED white lights where it looks like daylight outside in the middle of the night. This needs to be fixed because it’s going to impact not only humans, but wildlife. There is no need for street lights to be so bright that it looks like it’s daylight 24 hours a day.

    I love all the information that Dr. Jen Ashton has given us and I’m grateful to have found her on YouTube. I love the way she explains the details and even gives us some science stuff even though we are not medical professionals. My first two years in menopause I wasn’t on hormones and never slept and wi<br>was getting very sick and didn’t even feel like living anymore. Since I’ve been on hormones almost 3 years my life has turned around and I can sleep and I’ve feel extremely grateful. I also can say I mostly never consume &nbsp;alcohol, unless &nbsp;I’m on a vacation I will have a special drink or a special occasion. &nbsp;Thank you!!

    As I&apos;ve gotten older I need a fan on the floor-not blowing on me, total darkness-no lit alarm clock, or open windows. &nbsp;I used to always check the time when I woke up at night and once I stopped it was easier to fall back asleep. &nbsp;Thanks for the great information.
