Day 13: Yoga & Sleep

Sleep is the most natural thing in the world. Our bodies and minds rest naturally, and if we aren't able to sleep, we feel it. Yet over 70 million Americans, and millions more worldwide, suffer from sleep disorders--difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, or both.

Dr. Amer Khan joins The Yoga Summit to share his perspective on the pandemic of sleep disorders, answering the questions: Can yoga help us sleep better? What's the key to having a calm mind come nighttime?

Dr. Khan is board-certified in neurology and sleep medicine, the founder of Sehatu Sleep, and a sleep medicine expert and innovator. Stay tuned as Dr. Khan offers a short, practical method that we can practice during the day to retrain our minds to rest more fully at night.

In this interview you'll also learn...

• The role that sleep plays for our bodies
• How a calmer mind during the day is essential for getting good sleep
• How to help the mind learn to reduce stress and anxiety with the "let it be" motto
• The importance of having a happy place you can visit throughout the day to relax
• A meditation practice for the daytime to help you sleep better at nighttime
