How To Get More Sleep, Plus A Work-Life Balance Tip

by Laurie Erdman on May 20, 2013

I’ve been trying to relax a bit this month, after an intense April. With almost 20 events last month, I was wishing I had more time in my day. You know, just a few extra hours so I could get more sleep.

Yes, my own work-life balance was non-existent.

Like many of my readers, there just never seems like there is enough time to get it all done. There never seems enough time to cook, clean, work, sleep and have fun.

So earlier this month my own coach sat me down and had a stern talk with me. She showed me how I was struggling to walk my own talk and my body, work and relationships were showing it.

So what do you do when you find yourself running out of time, sleep and balance? Is it possible to have it all?

Working with Laurie Erdman is like magic. Before you know it (two weeks for me) and just by making a few simple changes, you have bundles of energy and the pounds begin to melt off. The big surprise is how easy this change is.Susan Buck-Gordon
Laurie is a dynamic and engaging speaker! She has demystified the process of eating healthy, and shown, that one can have FUN while exploring the world of “greens”! I have made many of her recipes and they are delicious and EASY!!Karyn Miller
After visiting doctors and specialists, where invasive procedures were the only options advised . . . , I decided to speak to Laurie. In 45 minutes, I had a detailed list of specific items to include in my diet, what to exclude, how to jumpstart so I would see results sooner. I had a complete sense of support and belief in my own body’s natural ability to heal. I highly recommend anyone who is suffering from serious chronic illness, to speak with Laurie for a conversation that could change you…Mohini Bhatia
I noticed my body responding within days after starting Laurie’s Get Up & Go coaching. Within two weeks I started losing weight. I also noticed more consistent increased levels of energy in the first thirty days. I’ve lost 30 pounds in 90 days. Coaching with Laurie has changed my life in such a positive way, I cannot imagine living without the changes I’ve implemented.Julia Taylor
Laurie truly cares about helping people to find the healthy path. She is driven to figure out the best solution and makes me feel that she’s really listening when we meet. Her suggestions are not only helpful but can be incorporated into life fairly easily.Alicyn Drew
Laurie is one of those rare individuals who understands all the dimensions of health we “working people” struggle with (because she’s been there!) while at the same time inspiring us to aspire to true health (because she’s arrived there). She’s compassionate, empathetic, mature and realistic at the same time.Dana Theus
Thanks to Laurie, I was able to re-design my life after major surgery. She helped me see the hamster-wheel routine I had established and helped me to challenge the habits and thoughts that led to that. We built new habits and new routines focused on my wellness. I’m on my way to being a healthier, happier and more balanced human being.JenniferAerospace Engineer
Within three months of working with Laurie, I have a lot more energy. My cholesterol is back to normal, I’m off my statins, my A1C is the lowest it’s been in 10 years, and I’ve reduced my insulin requirements by about 40 percent! But best of all, I finally had the energy to play with my son. The information and support Laurie provides is empowering.Jenifer Levinson
