  The Sleep Reset System - A...

  The Sleep Reset System gives listeners a practical, structured way to stop treating sleep like a mystery and start rebuilding the conditions that make it happen naturally. Instead of relying on one-off tips, supplements, or generic relaxation advice, it presents sleep as a system shaped by biology, environment, timing, habits, stress, and conditioning. 
  Listeners learn how sleep actually works, how to identify whether their main issue is falling asleep, staying asleep, poor sleep efficiency, or schedule misalignment, and how to fix the specific inputs that may be keeping them awake. The book walks through the core levers that influence better sleep: morning light, circadian rhythm, sleep pressure, bedroom darkness and temperature, caffeine and alcohol timing, movement, wind-down routines, screen boundaries, anxious thoughts, and the learned association between bed and wakefulness. 
  Its strongest value is that it turns sleep improvement into a repeatable protocol. Each chapter gives the listener a clear next step that can be done quickly, making the book useful not only as an explanation of sleep, but as a practical reset plan. The listener walks away with a system they can apply tonight, refine over the next few weeks, and return to whenever stress, travel, parenting, work, or bad habits disrupt their sleep again. 
  The core promise is simple: better sleep doesn’t come from forcing yourself to shut down. It comes from sending the right signals to your body, in the right order, consistently enough for sleep to become natural again.

  Delicate yet powerful, the Mourning Dove, scientifically known as Zenaida macroura, enchants listeners with its slender form, small head, and gracefully elongated tail. Its feathers paint a canvas of earthy hues, with brown and gray adorning its upper parts and a soothing beige gracing its underparts. In this meticulously captured binaural audio, you will find yourself transported to the Californian Woodlands, where a gentle babbling river stream weaves its melodic course through the surroundings. Harmonizing with the tranquil river, the Mourning Dove's cooing calls serenade your ears, filling the air with their unique and captivating melodies. As you listen, you may also encounter the harmonious contributions of other avian companions, such as the Acorn Woodpecker, while the gentle chorus of crickets and the occasional bullfrog's chirp enhance the symphony of nature.

  Our species has a unique genius for self-imperilment. The ancient dangers – asteroids, super-volcanoes and worse – still stalk us, but the most pressing time-bombs are of our own making.

  A week-by-week account of the COVID-19 pandemic through the eyes of a different kind of health care front line worker—a marketing leader—at one of the nation’s and world’s leading health care systems.  
  "This candid collection of daily emails from a health industry insider offers a unique glimpse at the daily realities of working during Covid. From pandemic fatigue to staycations and Thanksgivings on Zoom, these stories will take you back to a time you might want to forget. Despite the understandable urge to leave the pandemic behind, Comeau proves that sometimes looking back can not only be therapeutic ... it might offer exactly the perspective we all need to continue to move forward too."  
  - Rohit Bhargava, WSJ Bestselling Author of Non-Obvious Thinking + Non-Obvious Megatrends 
  During the early stages of coronavirus, Amy Moudy Comeau, MBA, an award-winning and acclaimed marketing executive, began writing weekly emails to her Emory Healthcare marketing team every Friday, as a form of encouragement and support to get them through eight weeks of shelter-in-place, which turned into a three-year pandemic. 
  Amy’s Friday emails became a weekly tradition, providing support and even levity during this transformational time. Years later, these time-stamped entries, along with present-day commentary from the author giving insight and hindsight reflections on the pandemic, leadership, self-care and marketing, provide a unique snapshot back into those “unprecedented” days of the pandemic.  
  Every Storm Runs Out of Rain gives insightful lessons on leadership and resilience, and finding the silver lining in the middle of a crisis.
