Your Sleep Questions, Answered | Donn Posner

I don’t know about you guys, but my sleep has suffered quite badly during the last few months. Today’s 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’re sleeping poorly right now, he says, don’t 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’s 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 &amp; 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’re doing sleep; Wednesday it’s sex. So it’s a fun week here on the show.

Today, we jump into the world of sleep with sleep expert Donn Posner. Dr. Posner is one of the world's leaders on the treatment of insomnia and is a consultant for physicians and practitioners on how to help people with their sleep. He will discuss with us what is insomnia, how do we get it, and what can we do to get rid of it! And, we have a second guest today, Dr. James MacKillop who recently authored a paper looking at the research on CBD for the treatment of Alcohol Use Disorders. He discusses his findings and where the research is expected to go next.
