Insomnia & Sleep Paralysis Demons

Описание: Lindsey here. I have never slept well -- ever, not once. I'm like Katherine Heigl in 27 Dresses, when she starts scrubbing her kitchen with a toothbrush at three o'clock in the morning. Except I'm not distraught about my sister shacking up with my hot boss; I'm just not sleepy.

It's three o'clock in the morning right now, actually. Which you could probably tell because this description doesn't make any sense. Why am I talking about Katherine Heigl?

Anyway, in today's episode, I tell Connor all about the history of sleeplessness, the science behind it, and what might really be keeping me up. A hint: It has something to do with fruit flies.

🍄 I PROMISE THIS IS INTERESTING! 🍄

We'll see you next time :)
