In this episode, meet Dr. Rubin Naiman, a sleep and dream specialist who says people are at least as dream deprived as they are sleep deprived. Learn what dreaming well is and how not dreaming can impact your health. Also, find out who the three women Dr. Naiman would love to have tea with and why. 

Dr. Naiman's book Healing Night is my absolute favorite book - it's a must read for anyone who wants to really understand rest and why we don't sleep from a psycho-spiritual perspective. I've interviewed him before and I'm always learning something new.  I think you will too. He's definitely my rest-crush :) I can't wait for you to meet him. And, if you'd like to meet him in person, consider attending his Healing Insomnia workshop next month in California.
