0:00.0	So when I first started as a therapist about 20 years ago, I started seeing some of my clients suffering from sleep deprivation.
0:07.0	And I thought to myself, huh, well, maybe they should go to a doctor to talk about that.
0:11.0	And I might recommend, hey, you know, you're not getting a lot of sleep.
0:14.0	You're telling me you're not getting all of sleep and you're telling me that you might be having some effects from that.
0:18.0	Maybe you should talk to your doctor about that. And then the years would go by and I would have more and more clients complaining about sleep problems
0:25.2	and now they don't have time for it or they're having trouble falling asleep or they're having
0:29.3	trouble staying asleep.
0:31.5	And there's, you know, they have to wake up for their kids' school in the morning at four
0:36.2	in the morning and they have to stay up until,
0:39.1	you know, midnight, and they're not getting any sleep. And so eventually I started thinking,
0:43.8	well, maybe I as a therapist need to start addressing this with my clients. And so I started to
0:48.7	do research on sleep. And I started talking more and more with my clients, and then I started assessing for it

1:01.2	clients are suffering from sleep deprivation and they're presenting problem that they bring into
1:06.9	therapy might benefit from them addressing their sleep and improving on it. And then I found
1:13.4	that it was very difficult to affect change in my clients around this. It wasn't just as simple as
1:20.7	me saying, hey, you know what, you probably should just sleep more. I would find that that that
1:25.4	didn't do anything. And so I made it sort of a personal mission of
1:29.9	mine to try to raise awareness regarding sleep deprivation and how it relates to counseling
1:37.2	and therapy. As a part of that, I thought I would have a podcast about this topic. And when I got an email from Kristen, who is here in the studio, she says that she wants
1:50.6	to talk about sleep on the podcast, and she's a sleep expert.
1:54.4	She has made it a part of her practice to be an expert on the topic and also has a shared value as I do in terms of raising awareness.
