Sleep really is a fascinating subject most of us don't think much about and we really should because it affects everything. Recently, Daybreak's Kate Welshofer discovered a place in Buffalo dedicated to the science of sleep and helping you get the Zs you need.
Start with Sleep is the ultimate snooze bar. It is a one-stop-shop filled with products and services to help anyone rest more easily. There are as many reasons why people have trouble sleeping as there are people to sleep. One thing owner and founder Soda Kuczkowski says we all can do better is make sure we make sleep a priority.
"No one really thinks about the impact of a good night's sleep except for when you get a good night's sleep, right? You go on vacation, you feel amazing? You can feel like that all the time if you put the right tools in place, " Kuczkowski said.
She's put all the tools in her place on Hertel Avenue.
She can work with people one-on-one. She is also connecting the community with medical sleep testing, sleep disorder therapy, workshops for kids and adults, yoga classes, even support groups.
Sleep is not like pajamas. There's no "one size fits all" so check with your doctor. The big message is this: if you are having trouble sleeping, take it seriously. Soda says a lot of people think of it as no big deal until they're dealing with a major health issue.
