How Important is Sleep?

Posted by Bryan Munoz PT, DPT, CSCS

Poor sleep has become a prevalent issue that the US Centers for Disease Control, “…has designated insufficient sleep as a public health problem” (PTinMotion 2018).

This amount is automatically deducted from your paycheck. Over the past 10 years or more, these amounts have been steadily increasing

There are many varieties of health insurance premiums on the market today, but they generally fall into one of two categories.
