Hey 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.

I've got a really nice,

spacey bedtime story for you tonight. But before I get to it, 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 just totally fried. Burnout can feel like 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 really hard to sleep, which becomes a pretty crazy cycle.

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

and realizing how important it 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 is 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 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 now get 10% off their first

month at betterhelp.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.

Try out therapy. Give it a chance because you deserve it.

And now, I'd like to thank our brand new patrons on patreon.com.
