Breath-Taking at Night

The #1 reason why so many people feel sick and tired is because of a Sleep/Breathing Dysfunction. This class teaches you how to fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, stop snoring and wake up feeling rested. We all know that you can’t possibly have your highest brain power, do your best performance and function at your highest level when you are chronically fatigued and drained from lack of deep restful sleep. You’d be shocked at how many health disorders are related to, if not caused by, faulty breathing during sleep. While many people feel there’s nothing they can do about snoring or waking frequently at night, they’d be just as surprised to know there’s more you can do about it than you think
