Listen "TITLE: Sleepless nights - nightmares, military - yet the solution was up to me. "
Episode Synopsis
MY STORY:
I continued to get up through the night - I was so tired of not getting straight sleep. I would sleep for an hour get up sleep for an hour get up. Thought this has to change.
THE REALITY - TELL IT LIKE IT IS.
Sleep had been a problem since I can remember. As a kid I had horrible nightmares, then in the military sleep just became a fucked cycle of always on edge. I would have these dreams of getting shot - gun to the head wake up dripping in sweat. I would deal with it by popping caffeine pills at 4 am then taking a shower with a strong pot of coffee brewing. I had a hard time getting it right... or better...nightmares as a kid, sleepless nights in the military....
THATS MY STORY - MY STORY HAD TO CHANGE
The better question remained - what the hell could I do....this is what I did....
IT DOESN’T START AT NIGHT....it starts from the moment I wake up.
I start my day with power - from the first step out of bed I am geared through Warrior to live by the code. One huge step in the right direction of starting my day with powerful presence is CORE 4.

What is one thing you can do to get better sleep? Don’t wait take action. Its not one night nor the 10 or 15 minutes lost you could have had a bit more peace... its years and years of it all adding up to a painful reality.
Let’s flip the script and make sleep our place of power we often replace with caffeine.
Here’s to your good life... better said - here’s to a good night sleep!
