Ask Daniel #31: Get the Thought Work Going

Rebecca has heard that high stress hormones cause insomnia and that it's hard to get them down, is this true? Jessica asks how harmful Zolpidem is. Lena is not sure she can do enough to protect herself from Covid-19. Cara was doing really well having worked with a sleep therapist until the day she graduated. Matt is temporarily living with his mother who just tested positive for Covid-19, what should he do to not worry around bedtime. Will bedtime restriction work for early morning awakenings? Gary asks. TinyTia wonders if alpha stimulators are a good idea and Malena asks what to do if you wake up when everyone else is sleeping.
