REST is true self-compassion.

Sleep can feel like a mystery. You can follow every tip, perfect your routine, and still find yourself wide awake, stuck with racing thoughts and a frustrated heart. In this episode, Jeffrey explores why sleep isn’t just about technique—it’s about relationship. Drawing from a personal story from their time at a Buddhist monastery, Jeffrey shares how shifting the way we relate to sleep can soften the whole experience, even when rest doesn’t come easily.You’ll hear why self-criticism makes sleepless nights harder, how our approach to sleep often mirrors how we approach life, and why planning for wakefulness can actually bring more peace. Jeffrey introduces the idea of a “2 a.m. plan”—a gentle, compassionate way to meet yourself in the middle of the night without shame, pressure, or panic.This episode is an invitation to remove self-hate from the sleep experience and choose kindness instead. If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing at rest, this conversation is here to remind you: you deserve love, especially in the dark, especially when it’s hard. 🌙Want more?
