About this listen

 A few bad nights during a stressful period triggered Tim's lengthy struggle with insomnia. The more he tried to fix his sleep, the more difficult it became, the more power and influence it would have over his life, and the more anxiety he would experience. Tim's transformation began when he realized that trying to control sleep was keeping him stuck and that his response to the fear of not sleeping was a bigger problem than being awake at night.
