Hi there, it's Matt here and welcome to tonight's sleep story.

And before we begin, I just want to note that the sponsor of today's podcast is someone I am really proud to align with, and that is the service

called Better Help.

As someone who has studied sleep and mental health for decades, I know that caring for

your mind is just as crucial as caring for your body.

And of course many of us focus on physical health,

but perhaps we sometimes neglect our mental health. And that really is the foundation of everything

we do. I also know from studying the topic that sleep and mental health are intertwined,

and therapy can support that

foundation and that is where BetterHelp comes in. Better help offers a flexible and convenient way

to start therapy and it is entirely online. All you need to do is fill out a brief questionnaire

and you will be matched with a licensed therapist.

You can switch that therapist at any time and at no cost.

If you are wanting to try to change things in terms of your mental health,

just visit betterhelp.com forward slash Matt Walker. By doing that, you will get 10% off your first month. So that is

betterhelp.com forward slash Matt Walker. Thanks to better help for supporting this podcast and supporting our story that will now begin

to help us drift off into the night.

And let's take it easy and get ready for a peaceful night of sleep.

I'll be here to walk you through a soothing journey every step of the way.

And we'll also do that with some gentle background tunes just to set the mood.

I know all too well that winding down after a busy day isn't always easy.

So thanks for letting me be a part of your night and your wind down routine.
