The Great Sleep Checklist was published about 3 weeks ago. I thought "Whew! It'll be such a relief to get it done, published on Kindle and then I can move on with my life."
I'm moving on, but how did I miss that people would want to talk about it? I thought "Create a useful tool and make it available. What's next?" I have always enjoyed finishing my projects so that I could get things off my plate and move on to the next thing. But it turns out that's not the way things go in publishing. It turns out that sometimes, writing a book about something, even a short book, makes you "an expert." Or so it would seem in modern life.
The upshot of this is that a WGN Radio producer contacted me this past week and asked me if I was available to answer questions about sleep disorders on the radio? I was interested, but I'm not a "sleep disorder expert." I'm a former insomniac who worked and organized her life in order to sleep better and is in a position now to discuss how I did that and how others can do that. As soon as they understood that I couldn't really discuss apnea or snoring (other than yeah, it's going to keep you up), I was definitely game.
Host David Plier is a businessman who hosts the weekend show and frankly, is a great conversationalist. He's friendly, knowledgeable and handles everything, including prank callers, with capable style and personality. I felt very comfortable and confident that I was in good hands throughout the entire interview.
So here's the podcast of that event at 2 o'clock this morning on WGN. They posted it for us. I hope you like it and feel free to comment with any questions of your own about sleep issues. But not sleep disorders.
Sleep well!
