It looks like a typo but understanding this has much practical value. This is why in this episode we (1) look at the rational aspect of fear of fear (2) look at examples and (3) how to meed this situation.

In this roundup we look at a comment from Laura on Heard online #2. We see that the burden of proof dilemma and skewed incentives makes for a confusing state of affairs in the sleep universe.

In this episode we look at a new essay from Alexey Guzey, the man who debunked 'Why we sleep'. We find that there's much reason to take anything we hear from the sleep establishment with a bucket of salt.

In this episode, we look at an analogy of a child crying because of how they interpret getting served the wrong type of eggs. We see that the narratives that the mind creates determines if our tears are those of sadness, relief or happiness.

In this episode Coach Michelle is joined by Coach Beth (Beth Kendall) to answer questions from the community.

Alice is asking if the teachings we share on the channel apply to perimenopausal women? Kevin wonders how one can meet the anxiety associated with the bed having had panic attacks there. Diane and Marcin both find themselves waking up a certain number of hours after falling asleep and struggling from there.

In this episode we look at a comment from Cassie that raises the questions - why does society applaud early birds and frown at night owls? What do you think? Do you agree?

Secondly, we take note of the fact that this week, we had two guests in different parts of the journey (Talking insomnia 91 and 92 with Nick and Basilio) of leaving sleeping pills. Much to learn from if this topic interests you.

In this episode we get to know Basilio. He started having trouble sleeping in December despite not having any major stressful trigger. In retrospect, he see that the wondering about not sleeping itself may have been the reason for much of the struggle. Today, he has come off medications. The first week was choppy, but he felt more refreshed than on medication. The second week has been easier, and he feels optimistic about the future.

In this episode we talk about new terminology introduced by the sleep foundation, brought to our attention by Chelsea. We see how not allowing yourself to enjoy the evening isn't an act of self kindness, and how when we are gentler with ourselves, sleep can happen by itself.

In this episode we look at what we can learn from wondering if a Natto based program will work for you. We look at 4 points and here is a spoiler... the first is a big thank you (!) to you for this consideration. It means the world :)

 In this episode Nick shares his journey from an ER visit and panic attacks to a place of peaceful sleep. However, the reason he joins the program is that he is on Trazodone and would like to come off. We have a discussion about general principles that can be helpful to know about for anyone wishing to wean off sleeping pills.
