Why they don't tell you this about sleeping | Benjamin Long

Are you a high achiever struggling with "anxious toil," or a parent who hasn't seen a full night of rest in years? In this episode of the 5 a.m. Podcast, host Michael Klassen sits down with Dr. Benjamin Long—a dual board-certified sleep medicine physician, pediatrician, and seminary student.

Dr. Long lives at the fascinating intersection of neuroscience and theology, viewing sleep not just as a medical necessity, but as a spiritual gift.

We dive deep into why sleep-deprived entrepreneurs make poor business decisions, how the "ubiquitous smartphone" broke our internal clocks in 2012, and why the ancient practice of the Daily Examine can cure your 3 a.m. overthinking.

If you are ready to trade restlessness for a truly rested life and turn your bedroom back into a sanctuary, this conversation is for you.
