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 snoozy bedtime story, I just want to say that this episode is

very proudly sponsored by Better Health. 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 then before you know

it, you are totally fine. Burnout can feel like lack of motivation, feeling helpless, trapped,

or maybe even feeling detached. When I get burnt out, even though I'm totally exhausted,

it can still be really hard for me to sleep, which is a pretty crazy cycle.

Well, therapy has been really helpful for me in being able to avoid getting burnt out,

and realizing how important it is not to 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 is a complete game

changer for my daily life, which is why I'm so happy to team up with Better Health.

Better Health is customized online therapy that offers video, phone, and even live chat sessions

with your therapist. So you don't even 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 Better Health and Sleepy listeners now get 10%

off their first month at BetterHell.com slash Sleepy. That's better H-E-L-P dot com slash Sleepy.

I'll put a link for this in the description of the show. Do yourself a favor and just try out

therapy because you deserve it. And now I'd like to thank all of our brand new patrons on Patreon.com.

Theta Villareal and Sarah Abelone Savic. Thank you both so, so much for donating and being a part

of making this show. I truly appreciate it. And Sarah, I really hope that I pronounced your last name right.

And for anyone who doesn't know, Sarah and Theta are brand new patrons of Sleepy on Patreon.com,
