Quotes by John Ancy

“We have a huge sleep deficit in the country because of the way we are as a society. We just dont get enough sleep. We go to bed too late and we get up too early. The demands on people continue to grow, both socially and at work, and people are taking less and less time for sleep.”

“Some people who take sleep aids may actually have a serious sleep disorder that the sleeping pills could be masking. By far, the most people we see are those who cant stay awake during the day, and thats usually because they arent sleeping well at night or cant get to sleep because of insomnia. Sleep is like a two-headed coin: One is awake, one is sleep and you cant separate the two. If you are awake well, you sleep well.”

“A lot of sleep disorders are still misunderstood, even by the medical community. Recognition has certainly gone up, especially for sleep apnea. But like everything else, the advertisements are driving the business. And for many, the sleeping pills appear to be an easy solution, and thats not always true. You have to be able to determine the problem before you come up with the solution.”
