An Orthosomniac in the Garden; Sleep, Part 2
Hello all —
This is Part 2 of my little triptych on sleep and sleep hygiene.
In the previous episode we talked about why sleep matters (hint: it’s the bedrock of your health), what’s actually happening in the brain during sleep, and how to tell whether your sleep is truly restorative.
In this episode we move into the practical side of things: sleep hygiene.
We start with the big picture of the 24-hour cycle, the forces that shape your sleep, and then unpack Matthew Walker’s core sleep protocols — the habits that help you fall asleep, stay asleep, and get genuinely restorative rest.
But…
Beware the orthosomniac, my son!
The data that bites,the hours that tick…
How do we walk the fine line of tending to our sleep whilst avoiding the trappings of sleep anxiety?
As with the previous episode, much of what I’ve learned comes from my psychopomps of sleep: Matthew Walker and Andrew Huberman, both of whom have done extraordinary work helping the public understand the importance — and the majesty — of sleep.
If you’d like to geek out further, here are some of the resources I’ve been learning from.

Andrew Huberman — Huberman Lab Podcast• Sleep Toolkit: Tools for Optimizing Sleep & Sleep-Wake Timing• Master Your Sleep & Be More Alert When Awake• Guest Series with Dr Matthew Walker
