On Sleep

from From Scarcity to Abundance · host Blain Collins

Without sleep you have nothing. I take you on a deeply personal journey from hating sleep as a kid to loving it as an essential part of my healing. I open up about the struggles I’ve faced with insomnia and how prescription sleep aids like Trazodone didn’t work for me. Instead, I share the intentional sleep routine that transformed my nights—and my life.From skincare rituals and sleepytime tea to magnesium glycinate, screen time boundaries, and blackout sleep masks, I unpack the sleep hygiene habits that now help me truly rest. I even talk about mouth taping, keeping a clean environment, and how tracking your sleep can help you better understand your mind and body.Sleep is not a luxury—it’s a non-negotiable. Without it, you have nothing. And sometimes, you have to gaslight yourself into becoming the version of you who craves sleep, because becoming someone new requires new habits.If you’re tired of being tired, or just curious about what it means to welcome change and build healthier routines, this podcast episode is for you.
