Caffeine is ubiquitous and even celebrated in our culture—from the usual coffee and tea, to soda and energy drinks like Red Bull—but it does not come without its side effects. In addition to causing uncomfortable jitters, it may also be the reason many people have a hard time getting great sleep.
The days are growing longer as we move toward the Spring Equinox and the clock just sprung forward for most of us in the US, causing us to lose an hour of precious sleep. Monday March 13th is National Napping Day (no doubt to help us catch up that lost hour), and Friday March 17th is World Sleep Day. So it makes perfect sense that March is National Sleep Awareness Month.

Here we are. In the thick of the holiday on-ramp. There’s pine needles, tinsel, and bits of wrapping paper and ribbon everywhere. You’ve got folks coming in a few days, an event you need a hostess gift for, and you just can’t handle another trip to the grocery store.
We’ve covered melatonin and tryptophan with its buddy serotonin, and now we’re focusing on another important sleep-related biochemical—cortisol.
We all know good posture is important, and we might have memories of our mom or teacher reminding us to “sit up straight.” But did you know that your sleep posture is incredibly important for how you feel in your body on a day-to-day basis?
