One of the most challenging parts of struggling with sleep is how tired, drained and even exhausted you may feel during the day. But why is that? Where does the fatigue come from? And how should one best move past it?

In this episode, we talk about how there are two types of fatigue - the physical and the emotional. You will see that emotional fatigues is best met with the answer for all suffering, a gallon of self-kindness.

Super excited to share that the book I’ve been talking about for a bit is now on Amazon. It is sure to be criticized, because a lot of the thinking is not aligned with the traditional approach, I hope people will be kind even if they disagree.

I hope though that this will explain the foundation of all I hope to teach over the next 40 years or so.

Thank YOU for the support and for being here!!
