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

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

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

BetterHelp. As someone who is very prone to burnout, I can say that it really does sneak up on you.

You get busy, too busy, and before you know it, you're totally fried.

Burnout can feel like a lack of motivation, feeling helpless, trapped, maybe feeling a little detached.

When I get burnt out, even though I'm exhausted, it can still be hard to sleep, which is really no good.

Therapy has been really helpful in my avoiding getting burnt out, in realizing how important is to not

get overworked, to take time for myself and to get the sleep that I need to be a happy person.

So in that way, therapy can be a complete game changer for my daily life, which is why I'm so proud

to team up with BetterHelp. BetterHelp is customized online therapy that offers video, phone,

and even live chat sessions with your therapist, so you don't have to see anyone on camera if you don't

want to. It's much more affordable than in-person therapy, and you can be matched with a therapist

in under 48 hours. This podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp, and Sleepy listeners get 10% off their

first month at BetterHelp.com slash Sleepy. That's BET, T-T-E-R-H-E-L-P.com slash Sleepy.

Do yourself a favor and try out therapy, because you deserve it.

I'll put a link for this discount in the description of the show.

And the music you're hearing right now is by my good friend James Lepkowski,

and the cover of For Sleepy is by Gracie Cana.

Tonight, I'll be posting an older episode, um, because I'm still traveling, and it's been

very hard to find any quiet spaces to record. So, um, this is an oldy bug goodie that some people

have requested, even though it already exists on the Sleepy podcast just way, way down in the podcast
