Today on something you should know, do you ever apologize for things that are not your fault? You should probably stop doing that.

Then the importance of a good night's sleep and how easy it is not to get one.

When you're sleeping, even a full moon can interfere with your sleep. Little bits of light can infiltrate and suppress melatonin, which is the sleep hormone, and interrupt your sleep. So that was the first thing. Your environment should be dark.

Since it's a new year, why not make this the year of you? I mean, like everyone, I'm sure you have problems, concerns, feelings you don't know what to do with.

And a great way to really take charge and deal with those very personal concerns is through therapy with talk space.

Now, I decided a long time ago that rather than just let life happen, you've got to take charge. And often that's hard to do all by yourself. It always helps to talk with someone. And with talk space, you get a trained license professional.

I recommend talk space because you can sign up online, get a personalized match with a provider, typically within 48 hours. You can text, video, or send voice messages to your therapist. And it's just incredibly convenient to have virtual sessions from the comfort of your home.

In short, members on average pay a $20 copay or less, but you don't have to have insurance.
