“By helping us keep the world in perspective, sleep gives us a chance to refocus on the essence of who we are. And in that place of connection, it is easier for the fears and concerns of the world to drop away.”

It’s hard to quit only one half of the perfect circle of burnout without quitting the other. Admittedly, getting out of the vicious cycle isn’t easy. There are endless flashing lights and signposts telling us we have a medical problem—after all, there are billions of dollars to be made by getting us to believe that sleeping pills are the answer to our sleep deprivation. Yet what we really have is not a medical problem but a lifestyle problem.”
