How'd you sleep last night? Us? Not so well, and maybe you're familiar with that pattern like a lot of Americans. In this episode we discuss sleep and mental health, and how a poor relationship with it can put us more at risk than we thought. Don't let the stress of it get to you, though. It's not gonna keep us up at night...
Be well!
