    The Hidden Link Between Sleep And Pain

    Struggling with sleep and chronic pain can be tough—but for our unhoused neighbors, it’s an everyday reality that makes survival even harder. In this episode, we explore the powerful connection between pain and sleep, how the cycle of sleepless nights and unrelieved pain impacts those experiencing homelessness, and what can be done to help. We’re joined by Heather Materella, a professional pain and sleep psychologist, who shares insights on the science behind this connection and practical ways to break the cycle. Tune in for an eye-opening conversation on why sleep is more than just rest—it’s a critical part of health, healing, and stability.
