"This app cured my insomnia!"
Woman's World|May 27, 2024
Trouble sleeping night after night left Kathy Dean dragging through her days. She felt hopeless, until discovering her cellphone was the key to unlocking sound, restful sleep

"This app cured my insomnia!"

"Grandma needs to rest a little," Kathy Dean told her grandkids as they begged her to read them a story. Chronic insomnia left Kathy foggy and fatigued during the day, making it hard to interact with her grandchildren, who she regularly watched. Constantly fighting drooping eyelids and head bobs and feeling like she was in a daze from the fatigue fueled brain fog became unbearable.

Once a sound sleeper, Kathy attributed her insomnia to typical hormonal changes associated with aging. Not wanting to take prescription medication or even over-the-counter sleep aids, Kathy experimented with teas, essential oils and just trying to quiet her mind at night...but nothing helped.

I guess I'm doomed to never again enjoy a good night's sleep, she despaired.
