"I'm fairly certain that these people are just afflicted by demons the other thing you can do is like you know pull your finger into the palm of your hand a lot of times it'll pass through or your skin's very flexible if you look down at your feet your feet often don't touch the ground so which is probably where they are not to touch the earth. Our brain has trouble rendering our body in three dimensional space," she says. "Try to find a mirror in your dream and look at your face that is absolutely a total freak show oh my god is it it's cheaper than drugs too I would imagine."

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.
