Breath-Taking at Night
with Carole Freeman, Five Town CSD Adult & Community Education
The #1 reason why so many people are sick and tired
This class teaches you how to fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, stop snoring and wake up feeling rested.
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.
You and I 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 a lack of deep, restful sleep.
