Sleep with Me

37 episodes - English - Latest episode: 5 months ago -

Sleep is a fundamental physiological process that plays a crucial role in maintaining our overall health and well-being. It is during sleep that our bodies and minds undergo essential restorative processes, allowing us to function optimally when awake. However, in today's fast-paced and demanding world, many individuals underestimate the importance of sleep, leading to a widespread problem of sleep deprivation. A staggering number of people are affected by this issue, with research indicating that approximately one-third of adults worldwide do not get enough sleep on a regular basis.

The significance of sleep cannot be overstated. It is not merely a period of inactivity; rather, it is a time when our bodies engage in vital repair and rejuvenation processes. During sleep, our immune system strengthens, facilitating the body's ability to fight off infections and diseases. Sleep is also closely linked to cognitive functions such as memory consolidation, learning, and problem-solving. It enhances our ability to concentrate, make decisions, and be creative. Moreover, proper sleep has a profound impact on our emotional well-being, helping to regulate mood, reduce stress, and improve overall mental health.


On my podcast, my aim is to help you fall and stay asleep while I am right by your side.

Sunlight filtered in through the window. It scattered from wall to wall giving warmth to the cold, dusty air. I stood in the doorway, watching as the dust mites sparkled in the light and settled on my former belongings. My bed was situated right where it always had been. Pressed up against the far wall and wrapped in warm striped blankets and sheets. My desk was beside it, still carrying my piggy bank and white lamp. My posters were all hung up and the cloth ribbons draped around the ceiling...
