Some health experts consider a lack of sleep to be an international epidemic.

0:02.0	2085 of the Daily Meditation Podcast.
0:06.0	I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you back to our
0:12.0	final episode of our series this week. We've been exploring an important theme.
0:19.2	That is the theme of you sleeping better at night. Not sleeping well, insomnia, going to bed, waking up tired, going to bed, and waking up at night and not being able to go back to sleep,
0:39.2	all of these sleep issues are rampant these days. They were even rampant before the pandemic

2:13.0	In today's meditation, you are going to assess how well you did throughout the week.
2:22.0	You're going to glance back over your week and notice
2:26.8	those times when you managed your emotions well.
