It is nighttime, and the sun has disappeared below the horizon. The children are quieting down in their beds, asleep. All the day's chores are done. Text messages and emails have ceased. It is time for sleep. You've changed into your fuzzy pajamas and climbed into a bed with fresh, crisp sheets. You lay your head on a soft pillow and begin to feel your breathing slow down, and your eyes grow heavy. In a few short moments, you drift off into a peaceful sleep. The worries of the day vanish, and your mind and body are at rest for the entire night.

This sounds more like a dream for most people. It can be hard to get optimal sleep in this modern age. Some people have trouble sleeping through the night because of things like a crying baby or a toddler who won't go to bed. For others, a busy work schedule and constant notifications on their phone can be distractions. And for some people, there's also the problem of having too much technology available.
