In this bonus episode, I get personal with Aric and ask him his thoughts on long-term usage of the drug I was on for 10 years to help me sleep, and we talk more in-depth about drugs for sleep in general.

We also talk about why an alphabet game I use to go to sleep actually helps and might help you, too. We discuss some testing that might be able to be done to help figure out why you're not sleeping, how menopause can affect sleep, and the fact that biphasic sleep (waking up in the night and then going back to sleep some time later) is actually quite normal historically and why it's so stressful for us now.
