Brain-Body Breakthroughs - Larry McCleary MD show

Summary: Have you ever gotten to the point where you only had 5-10 pounds more to lose but were unable to get there no matter what you did? Well, what might have done the trick for you was probably the last thing you would have considered -- SLEEP! My guest today is Dr. Michael Breus who has a new book out called The Sleep Doctor's Diet Plan: Lose Weight through Better Sleep (http://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Doctors-Diet-Plan-through/dp/1609611330/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1313279596&sr=1-1). He is an expert in sleep disorders and will be talking about why we need sleep, who is most in need and how to get all the beauty rest that is required. He has even developed a better sleep system that is based on the concept of thermo-neutrality (http://www.thesleepdoctor.com/the-dr-breus-bed/index.html). Please join me to hear why you shouldn't drink coffee before bed even if you have no trouble falling asleep, what is the real skinny about melatonin and who is most likely to sleep walk! You'll even hear what to do to prevent jet-lag.
