Hey, everyone, I wanted to share a story that concerns my sleep and I guess the lack of it for about a week and what I found to be the

underlying cause of that in case it may help any of you listening. The short, short summary on

this is my air purifier. This is a induct purifier known as the Remy Hilo LED. So Remy R-E-M-E-M-E-Hillow and it's an LED

LED light-powered air purifier. I'll give some more details in a moment, but this unit stopped

working. I have one upstairs, one downstairs. I didn't know it stopped

working, but what I can tell you is about three weeks ago, I slept terribly night, after night,

after night. And I'm talking, couldn't fall asleep, couldn't fall asleep, couldn't fall asleep,

got up, had a snack, did all the stuff I normally do, the song and the rain dance,

and just could not fall asleep until I took a unisome.

Now, once in a while I'll find a supplement that causes insomnia.

So, you know, I go through, okay, is there a new supplement that I am experimenting with driving this?

Nope.

Or I essentially stopped everything and was still not sleeping well.

I was extra diligent about getting sunshine in the morning, not having any caffeine after 12, you know, making sure I ate enough because sometimes not eating enough or not eating enough carbohydrates can cause me to not sleep well.

Usually within two or three nights I can sort out what's driving a lack of sleep.

This was a full week.
