Okay, one of the triggers for IBS is fatigue and stress, right? And one of the best ways to reduce fatigue and stress is to make sure you are getting enough sleep every night. Did you know that more than half the adults in this country are chronically sleep deprived?

There's a real easy way to test for sleep deprivation. It was in the NY Times. If you lie down in a darkened room during the day and fall asleep within 15 minutes, you're sleep deprived and should make every effort to get more sleep every night or there will be long term consequences for your health, as well as short term consequences for your IBS.

Most adults THINK they only need six or seven hours of sleep. Studies have proven that most adults actually need EIGHT OR NINE HOURS of sleep a night. I bet each one of you a dollar that you're not getting enough sleep to stay healthy. Take the test. Prove me wrong and I'll pay up in Vegas.

I know it's not easy. But neither is sitting on the pot with IBS or having your health collapse when you're fifty with some chronic stress-related illness.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES, DAMMIT!!
