Why do we sleep? Nearly every living creature on the planet sleeps in some way, but why. Scientists have pondered this question for thousands of years, and an official scientific certainty has yet to be reached. That point, however, is moot. The fact is we need to sleep. Lack of sleep for prolonged periods can lead to numerous health issues, even death. And even though it is one of the most essential things we do, it is not so simple for many people. Join us in this episode as we explore issues related to difficulty sleeping and some ways to help combat that pesky villain, insomnia.Patreon Link - https://www.patreon.com/macp_podcast"Lana Walsh is a Sleep Coach who helps people overcome insomnia so that they wake up feeling rested and refreshed and ready to take on the day. Lana found out she had restless leg syndrome (RLS) as a teenager but did not get treatment for over a decade. This led to developing insomnia. For 30 years, she struggled to find the answer, trying “literally everything” without relief. When she was introduced to emotional freedom techniques (EFT, AKA tapping), she started on the path to recovery. Tapping helped to reduce Lana’s stress and anxiety which allowed her to sleep better and get off prescription sleeping pills. Determined to continue this path, she began researching sleep where she finally found the answer to fixing her insomnia. She is passionate about sharing the secrets to overcoming insomnia and helping people get the same results that have transformed her life.
