    As a Registered Dietitian, I have definitely started to investigate the sleeping habits of my clients. Many people don't understand the importance of quality sleep and the effect that our lifestyles can have on our sleep. Sleep deprivation is a huge problem today and can lead to so many negative side effects. In my new book, "How To Eat Fried Chicken and Be Thin Too" I address the 4 most important components to healthy lifestyle change: Nutrition, Exercise, Stress Management, and Healthy Sleep. If anyone is interested in more information the book can be found at Amazon.com or Strategic Book Publising
