Sleep With Me

 



Time to get your minds out of the gutter…..

This is a link to podcasts that are so unbearably boring that they put the listener to sleep. We heard about this when a segment about the podcast was aired on “CBS Sunday Morning” with Jane Pauley.

Since the COVID pandemic began, one in three Americans has had reduced quality sleep. Correspondent Susan Spencer pulls back the covers on how pandemic stress is among the factors affecting people's already-tortured relationship with shuteye. Spencer talks with Drew Ackerman, a lifelong chronic insomniac whose storytelling podcast, "Sleep With Me," lulls listeners to slumberland; and with professors Sharon Bowman, Jennifer Martin and Tiffany Yip about the importance of sleep hygiene, and the effects of reduced sleep on chronic health impacts and productivity.

I figured I could do a great public service and share this information with my blog readers. You can let me know which is more sleep-inducing: this podcast or my ramblings.

Meanwhile, have a healthy week and try to get enough sleep.

Love,
