Today we welcome best-selling author Annabel Abbs-Streets to discuss her new book SLEEPLESS: Unleashing the Subversive Power of the Night Self, a remarkable blend of memoir, science and history that traces women's relationship with the darkness, grief, insomnia and the productive, creative opportunities waiting in wakefulness.

In this episode we discuss the latest science of how circadian rhythms—especially in women—change the awake-at-night brain, discuss the idea of a Night Self,  and listen as Annabel presents a new way of seeing one’s wakeful nights—not as doom and gloom, but as an opportunity for reflection and creativity. She truly shares a gentle and comprehensive blueprint for disconnecting from the anxiety of insomnia to recapture strength, imagination and, finally, the ability to sleep.
