In this powerful edition of Talking insomnia, we get to know Alexander who 2017, due to the stress of law school, had a sleepless night.

Having had some sleep struggles since childhood, but never experienced anything similar, this night turned into the beginning of a three year long intense struggle.

Today we hear how Alexander went from medications, trying to avoid feelings with alcohol and a collapse in public to where he is now: a place of more peaceful sleep and peace of mind than he ever imagined possible.
