The Myth Around Painful Periods
The Myth Around Painful Periods

An unspoken myth that I find myself constantly busting for my female patients is that periods are meant to be painful. This is not so, ladies! I’ve worked with many women who have basically trained themselves to endure such severe pain that it completely disrupts their lives, leaving them to miss work or other important obligations while staying home curled up in a ball for hours or even days.

While insomnia can be temporary due to changes in schedule or new stresses in your life, hopefully it is not a persistent issue for you. Today I want to talk about chronic insomnia. Chronic insomnia isn’t just frustrating; it can have a major impact on your quality of life and your health. Sleep may seem to be a period of rest for us, but for our body and brain it is a period of activity during which our bodies restore and rejuvenate.
