I highly recommend Dr. Zhou if you're struggling to sleep. Before meeting him, I was taking all sorts of medication for sleep (Z-Quil, trazodone, Ambien, etc.) and it wasn't doing anything to help me. After just a few sessions with Dr. Zhou, my sleep schedule has completely changed. I now go to bed and fall asleep within 10 minutes, and I wake up feeling refreshed. He's a great listener and really knows his stuff when it comes to sleep. If you follow his advice, I promise you'll see a big difference.
