Two Rock Stars Talk About Sleep
One is an actual rock star - Lawrence Gowan from Styx talks about health, fitness and sleeping on the tour bus for rock stars who are, like fine wine, getting better with age. (He also weighs in on Styx not being members yet of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.)
The other is a rock star in the sleep world - Dr. Mark Boulos from Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto is Neil's sleep specialist, and offers important information that could completely change the life of someone you care about if sleep issues come along with mental health concerns as well. -

ABC's Diane Macedo, Author of "The Sleep Fix"
Diane Macedo's first book, The Sleep Fix, officially came out today, and we were fortunate to grab some time. (You can win a copy of The Sleep Fix by clicking here.) Diane points out that she and Neil are kind of kindred sleep spirits. They both figured that their sleep challenges were linked to their careers in the media. In Diane's case, Ambien stopped working. Her health was declining. She tried everything. However, relief was coming. Diane the insomniac tackled the problem like Diane Macedo the journalist would - by talking to the world's leading sleep researchers, learning the science, and searching for the truth.

The two also cover Restless Legs Syndrome, and how trackers can serve as beacons for RLS. -
