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.

I'm sorry this episode is a couple days late but it was definitely a mental health week for me

last week. Definitely needed to give myself a little bit of a break. A couple days of leeway

and yeah that's why the show is happening today instead of Sunday and I encourage you all to

do the same when you need a being able to take a break which brings me to a word from our sponsor

before we get to the show and of course our sponsor being BetterHole. For 10% off your first

month go to betterhelp.com slash sleepy and start living a better life today.

Over the last few years I've learned that the only way that I can get really really good sleep is

when I take care of my mind and keep it healthy like I just did this past week and that means giving

it the time it deserves the nourishment it deserves and the midday naps it deserves but the best

thing I've done for my brain is gone to therapy. It feels like I'm taking my brain to the spa.

That helps me feel more peaceful more resolved more heard by someone and ready for bed at the end

of the day when my head hits the pillow. Well BetterHolep is online therapy that offers video,

phone and even live chat only therapy sessions so you don't need 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 and right now sleepy listeners get 10% off their first month at betterhel.com
