Gone are the days of struggling to stay awake while Kris Kringle was in route to your house. Now, with long nights of wrapping, family in town and normal holiday stress, sleep can be more evasive than ever. If you’re like us, you can’t afford to lose those valuable hours of sleep. Unfortunately, this is not a problem that is safely fixed with prescription sleep aids.
The first step in getting you some shut-eye is discovering why exactly you can’t sleep. Are you hurting from a bit too much time on the Gay Street ice skating rink? Are you stressed from having a few more people in your house than usual? Are your bed or your sleeping position making it impossible to stay asleep? These factors can all hugely impact your quality of sleep.
During a visit to Advantage Chiropractic Clinic, Dr. Adams will investigate all of these options as well as evaluate your “fight or flight” reactions in your nervous system and hormonal balance. From here, he will make recommendations based on your particular case and problems.
Too often you hear the same instructions – turn off your phone before bed and take supplements that may or may not work. At Advantage Chiropractic Clinic, we know you’re not a cookie-cutter patient, and that’s why we won’t give you those cookie cutter answers. “It’s not just instructing everybody to take melatonin,” says Dr. Adams. “We help with nutritional therapy and natural medicine.”
So put down that sixth cup of morning coffee and make an appointment to see us. Before you know it, you’ll be waking up bright eyed and bushy tailed!
