b'I don\\u2019t know about you guys, but my sleep has suffered quite badly during the last few months. Today\\u2019s guest really got me thinking about this issue in a whole new way. First, he normalizes the sleep problems many of us are having. If you\\u2019re sleeping poorly right now, he says, don\\u2019t freak out; it is natural and normal. Second, he has a bunch of tips for how to deal with insomnia, some of which I had never heard before and am already starting to operationalize in my own life. His name is Donn Posner. He\\u2019s one of the leaders in the field of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia. His titles are: Founder and President, Sleepwell Consultants, and Adjunct Clinical Associate Professor, Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine. Not only did he answer all of my questions, but we also played him some listener voicemails. One last thing to say before we dive in: our episodes this week have a theme: primordial needs. Today we\\u2019re doing sleep; Wednesday it\\u2019s sex. So it\\u2019s a fun week here on the show.\\n\\xa0\\nWhere to find Donn Posner online:\\nWebsite: https://www.sleepwellconsultants.com/\\nBooks: https://www.sleepwellconsultants.com/publications\\n\\xa0\\nToday is the first day of the Summer Sanity Challenge: a free 21 day meditation challenge.
