Summary
Maybe you're having trouble sleeping. Perhaps, you're dreaming a ton. Or, you keep waking up in the middle of the night. Or *feel* as though you can't hit the pillow before taking melatonin. Sleep is one of the most important things in our lives, period. For #HURDLEMOMENT this week, I'm sitting down with Dr. Brittany Blair, a licensed clinical psychologist, board certified in both sleep and sexual medicine. She gives you the answers you've been looking for, including if it's REALLY possible to become a morning person. (Spoiler alert: you may have to have a chat with your parents after listening to this.)
