Hi everyone. My name is Otis Gray and you're listening to Sleepy.

A podcast, I read old books to help you get to sleep.

Before we get to tonight's story, I want to say that this episode is very proudly sponsored by

Purple. This last year has made parts of our lives more uncomfortable than we'd like them to be.

Doing things in going places has become complicated and the way that we interact with family and

friends is just different. If you're like me, you've been put out of your comfort zone quite a bit.

But still, one thing I can always rely on being comfortable at the end of the day and

something that's reliable in my life is my purple mattress. Purple is comfort reinvented.

It's made with this grid, a stretchy gel material that's amazingly supportive for your back and

legs while still cushioning your shoulders and your neck and hips. I don't know how it does it.

It's just fantastic, even for side sleepers like me. Purple's comfort technology has been

changing the mattress game for 15 years now and it really shows. I've honestly never slept better

on any mattress ever. So purple really is comfort for an uncomfortable world. And right now,

you know that I ironically have trouble sleeping mostly because I'm very much an overthinker.

And you may have also heard how much therapy has helped me with that.

I think therapy is such a wonderful, really important thing to have access to, especially now,

and you have the opportunity to talk to a therapist from the safety of your home.

So this is why sleepy has teamed up with BetterHelp. Affordable, private online counseling,
