Episode notes

Inception touches on this idea of lucid dreaming which I thought was really cool and really took it to a neat place. Is lucid dreaming something you can choose to do? It's something that you can it's a skill now some people just do it if you've never had lucid dream so lucid dreaming is simply being aware that you're dreaming when you're dreaming. And then dream control is sort of the next step of oh wow I'm dreaming that I'm you know doing this thing I'm staying on top of a buildingDream Control would mean you could actually just control yourself jump off the building and then fly.

Have you listened to Part 1 yet? No? Go on, git. Here's a link to it! Go do that.

Now if you have, this Part 2 is a bonanza of problem solving from neurologist and somnologist Dr. W. Chris Winter. He'll cover: if you should be taking sleep supplements or pills, sleep talking, apnea, why sleepiness makes us hungry, narcolepsy, the difference between insomnia and sleep deprivation, how to lucid dream, the dangers of shift work and some tactics to lull yourself to dreamland without any medications. ALSO: I share a family secret: my mom's insomnia buster -- newly dubbed the "Sleepy Fancy Nancy" -- that has literally never failed me.

And I am currently spending time with my family after my dad’s emergency brain surgery a few weeks back, but put a few extra notes and updates on how we’re doing. Thanks for all the thoughts, friends.
