EP256: Why Sleep is Critical for Vibrant Health with Doc Parsley

It’s no secret that poor sleep can cause irritability, decreased productivity and sugar cravings, but it may surprise you that according to sleep expert (and former Navy Seal) Dr. Kirk Parsley... 

“Those who are chronically sleep deprived, those who work lifetime night shifts, chronic insomniacs and those who take sleeping pills chronically die (on average) 12 years earlier and have a higher risk of disease earlier in life.”

Why? 

Because sleep is literally one of the most (if not THE most) important thing you can do for your health.
