And so this idea of not having your phone in bed is part of that.

So how long does it take for most people to train themselves through the stimulus control, sleep restriction, where the bed is really just for... I've heard sleep and sex.

Yeah.

It's probably the phones that are the biggest problem nowadays.

And that comes down to what you were saying earlier, either being in another room or sitting up or standing.

Why are a lot of people that have insomnia, why are they prescribed these sedatives like Ambien?

Is that the key?

Do you really have to find someone that knows what they're doing or can you try this yourself?

What percentage of the U.S.

population has insomnia?

Yeah.

One in 10 is a lot.

And, you know, I definitely think we're going to talk about some of these substances people then turn to because they think it's going to help treat their sleep problem, which they don't necessarily know is even insomnia.

Right.

And so they're, you know, turning to things like alcohol and that doesn't really help.

So but let's before we get to that.

Sleep apnea, you mentioned.

And that's another one that I wanted to talk about.

I've known a lot of people, it seems, that have had sleep apnea.

I wonder how, you can tell me how common that is as well.
