Meditation for Insomniacs and Disrupted Sleep Cycles

https://youtu.be/6nb_2_qkqlU   Having just returned from Sri Lanka at the time of this writing, my sleep cycles are way off.

And while it may not be talked about in a public or structured way, those caught in it often talk about it incessantly—to anyone who will listen. They ruminate, replay, and seek validation.
