Anyone who spends enough time around kids is reminded of the magic of childhood all over again. Kids are observers of the world, free of ego, capable of absorbing so much information and inferring from their environment. To kick off Season 2 of the Sleep Is My Waking Passion podcast, I am joined by my daughter, Lily, who managed to provide me with 10 awesome recommendations for sleep in what felt like a nanosecond. Amazing! I just had to share. 

Season 2 will explore insomnia as a symptom of other deeper issues and sleep disorders. It is all about circadian misalignment, sleep apnea, rare central disorders of hypersomnia, and beyond.  Wellness is about maintaining our health as long as possible, and maximizing our potential for restful sleep is a critical part of the equation. Have a listen!
