Chronic sleep problems can seriously disrupt a person's life, taking a heavy toll in both in personal and professional relationships. And although sleep disorders can be debilitating in and of themselves--over time they can spur additional health problems by weakening the immune system and decreasing natural resistance to infection, depression, cell breakdown, and disease.

Sleep Disorders and Melatonin: Melatonin is known as the body's "biological clock," for its crucial role in shaping our physiological responses to the 24-hour cycle.

Sleep Disorders and Adrenal Hormones: High levels of cortisol are associated with stress, restlessness, and the inability to sleep deeply throughout the night.

Sleep Disorders and Amino Acids: The right balance of amino acids can improve the quality of sleep and decrease the time it takes to fall asleep at night.
