Description

I hope this episode doesn’t put you to sleep. Actually, I hope it does. Because this one's all about sleep. Or in my case, the disgusting lack of it. These are the reasons we don’t sleep, the reasons we need to sleep (sleep well and sleep enough) and strategies for making that happen.

We've been sleeping since we were babies and have had lots of practise so... why is this so hard???

When I don't sleep, I'm not a great parent or a very good human in general. I'm trying to get a handle on this because... EXHAUSTED.

Listen in and I'll share what is working and what is not.

PS Adult-ish content warning for the story at the end of this episode.

(For some reason Avery introduced this episode as Good Night, Tighty Whities. I don't know where she got that, but it made me laugh.)
