Hello, welcome to the Bore You to Sleep podcast, the podcast that will hopefully help you get to sleep.

I am going to read an open source book, that is not particularly interesting but one that is

hopefully boring enough to get you to sleep is there something interfering with your

happiness or is preventing you from achieving your goals.

I know there have been times in my life where I've struggled with sleeplessness,

which is why I strive to help people everywhere with theirs.

I'm proud to have partnered with a new sponsor, Better Help.
