| 0:28.3 | You can do as you meditate, or even as you go about your day to help you sleep better to ease yourself into sleep. |
| 0:39.1 | And when you feel well rested, You automatically manage stress in a much better way, so getting a good night's sleep |
| 0:50.5 | is not so much a luxury, it is a vital part of your health and well-being. |
