What I tell people all the time is when it works, it changes your life.

I mean, it's pretty amazing that when you, you know, everything you do, you do better with a good night's sleep.

And then when you do change your sleep, it really does change your life in a way that you never would have imagined.

Okay, I'm going to be really honest with you.

Over the last few years, I have suffered from debilitating bouts of insomnia. There have been countless nights. When I wake up at 2 a.m.,

my mind starts racing, and I never fall back asleep. You stack four of those nights in a row,

and I'm a complete total zombie.

My brain has a marine layer in it that never burns off. My workouts are like three push-ups in a shower. I call my daughters by the wrong names, like my grandmother did, and a muffin top

starts to appear over my pants because, yep, lack of sleep contributes to

weight gain too. Even though I know sleep is a vital part of health and well-being, it's something

I have felt hopeless to control until recently. Meet Dr. Michael Bruce, aka the sleep doctor. He is a clinical psychologist,

a diplomat of the American Board of Sleep Medicine, and a fellow of the American Academy of

Sleep Medicine. He is one of only 168 psychologists in the world with his credentials and distinction. You may have seen him on one of

his numerous appearances on Dr. Oz or Oprah, and you might have landed on his website,

the sleepdoctor.com, while hunting for the latest research and tips for getting a good

night's sleep. And now, I'm excited to announce you can also find him on Commune,

where we're launching his life-altering course, Sleep Better. You can experience this 10-day

program completely free from June 3rd through the 12th if you reserve a spot at Onecommon.com
