Do you struggle with sleep? If so, you know it’s kinda like taking off a sweatshirt when you’re sweaty AF and your arm gets stuck in the sleeve and you kinda wanna die, but the harder you try to fix it  the worse it gets.  You need sleep not only to maximize performance, but also to be able to function throughout your day. And in my case, to be a tolerable human being to be around.  During the onset of my concussion,  I struggled with years of severe insomnia. I tried counting sheep, hippos, penguins, pigeons…all the animals, but it didn’t do squat. I have attempted everything under the sun and the moon to restore my circadian rhythms and finally, I can say I sleep pretty dang consistently (I still have some rough nights, but I’m very pleased with my progress). Sleep is something I will never ever take for granted again.   In this episode, I talk about: -the hacks that have had the greatest impact on my sleep -the ONE thing that was a game changer for my shuteye -my go-to evening routine that gets me feelin’ zen -what I do when I have nights where I struggle to sleep  -how to function during the day when you aren’t well rested And more! I hope some of the methods provide you with a little bit of relief.  Sweeeeet dreams Resources: Be the first to know when a new podcast or article drops, and receive other magical contentHERE  A list of the 11 books that have had the biggest impact on my life as an athleteHERE Brain Waves binaural beats app  Earth Pulse PEMF Spectrum blue light blocking glasses  Mustard Bath  Spoonk acupressure mat
