Hearing birdsong can help us feel less anxious, recover from stress faster, and even reduce muscle tension ... but can it help us fall asleep? Drew Ackerman of Sleep With Me podcast listens to recordings of birdsongs to see if it'll help with insomnia. Link to episode transcript: https://tinyurl.com/5n7sxjtb Episode summary: Drew Ackerman, aka Scooter of Sleep With Me Podcast, has always struggled to get to sleep. Even as an anxious kid, worries would keep his mind churning as the night wore on. For our show, he tried a science-backed practice for easing stress: listening to the twitter of birds. He discovered the recordings reminded him of easeful summer afternoons, transporting him to another time and place. The research bears this out: different sounds affect us in different ways. For many, birdsong lowers our body's stress responses. And for Drew, that helped him get a little sleepier. Practice: Listen to a recording of birdsong. Today's guests: Drew Ackerman You might know Drew as his alias, “Dearest Scooter,” the host of Sleep with Me podcast. Drew struggles with bedtime worries and has a history of insomnia himself, but he's great at helping others sleep. Sleep with Me is one of the most listened-to sleep podcasts. On each episode, “Scooter” lulls listeners off to dreamland with meandering bedtime stories intended to lose your interest.

This week we revisit our science-backed tips for a good night's sleep with sleep scientist Eti Ben Simon and host of the Sleep with Me podcast Drew Ackerman. Link to episode transcript: https://tinyurl.com/2p8t47eh Episode summary: A good night's sleep can be hard to come by, and beating yourself up over not sleeping enough will only make it worse. On this episode of The Science of Happiness, the host of Sleep With Me podcast Drew Ackerman joins us to try science-backed tips for finding your natural sleep rhythm. Drew, also known as “Dearest Scooter,” talks about his history with insomnia and sleep anxiety, sleep hygiene, and his philosophy on bringing more self-compassion into his approach to trying to fall asleep. Then we hear from sleep scientist Eti Ben Simon about how sleep affects your social life. Practice: Avoid alcohol and caffeine after 2 p.m. to unmask your true biological sleep needs. Keep lights dim in the evening and limit access to LED lights after 9 p.m. Go to sleep as soon as you feel tired (even if you're in the middle of something). This will help you figure out the earliest window it is physiologically possible for you to fall asleep. Do not use an alarm clock to wake up.

What do you want to happen to your body when you die? It's a touchy topic where tradition, religion and death denial all come into play. But across much of the world, there are just two options: burial and cremation, which both have substantial ecological impacts. In 2019, Washington State passed SB 5001, which legalized several new options for deathcare. In this episode, host Jeff Emtman visits Return Home, a facility in Auburn, Washington that's using one of those new options, called “Natural Organic Reduction” (NOR) which is commonly called “human composting”. Return Home has built the world's largest NOR facility to date, with 74 available individual vessels. Their process (which they've trademarked as “Terramation”) takes about two month to complete, and involves dressing a deceased person in a pressed cotton gown and placing them a bed of organic material, and left to naturally break down using active composting techniques that bring the contents of the vessel to well above 100° Fahrenheit for much of the composting period. The techniques used by Return Home were largely inspired by Katrina Spade, a death activist and the owner of Re:Compose, another NOR facility located near Seattle. Spade was one of the people who strongly advocated for the passage of SB 5001.There's currently one other NOR facility in Washington State: Herland Forrest in Wahkiacus. Currently two other states, Colorado and Oregon have legalized NOR. NOR's future isn't known. It's new and still relatively rare. Do enough people want to be composted to have it be a viable business model? Each of these companies have different approaches to their process. Return Home's model relies on scale. They wouldn't disclose the exact cost of building their facility, or how many simultaneous descendants they'd need in their facility to be profitable. As of publishing, they charge $4,950 for their process and they have 15 of their 74 slots occupied. And in some ways, the full ecological benefits for Return Home's process also rely on scale. In a follow up email, CEO Micah Truman stated that “We calculate our inputs as follows. Our electricity bill each month is about $1,700, and is sufficient to Terramate 74 bodies. This comes to $22 per body. In current gas terms ($5 a gallon at present) that is roughly 4 gallons of gas, which is about 1/8 the amount of gas used for cremation. The number is actually quite a bit better than that, as our electricity bill also powers our entire facility, not just the Terramation equipment.”When asked about the relative emptiness of the facility, Katey Houston (Return Home's Services Manager) said, “The funeral industry is so slow to change. When cremation became a thing, it took sixty years to become mainstream. The fact that we've served just over thirty families now in four months, is quite amazing. And we've continued to grow month-over-month, and that's all I can ask for.”Thank you Hannah Suzanna for help with research for this episode.

As a teenager, HBM host Jeff Emtman fell asleep most nights listening to Coast To Coast AM, a long running talk show about the world’s weirdnesses. One of the guests stuck out though; one who spoke on his experiences with lucid dreaming. He’d learned how to conjure supernatural entities and converse with his subconscious. Lucid dreams are dreams where the dreamer knows they’re asleep. Some sleepers become lucid completely at random, but lucid dream training can drastically increase the frequency of their occurrence.Months ago, Jeff put out a call for dream prompts on social media. He asked if anyone had questions for an all-knowing being to be conjured in a forthcoming lucid dream. Some of the questions are heard in this episode. While training for this episode, Jeff used two approaches to trigger lucid dreams. The first was an audio recorder by the bedside. Each morning, Jeff recorded his dreams (lucid or not). The second method was a series of “wakefulness checks” throughout each day, stopping at random times to test reality, and to make a determination on whether he’s currently awake or asleep. This tactic is useful as it may eventually trigger the same behaviour in a dream. In this episode, Jeff attempts to lucid dream to answer listener questions, but finds the progress slower than he hoped.

Ahh Hello, Sunday! Hope you guys had a terrific week and perhaps are using a little of this day to plan for the week ahead. One thing I would like you to consider for this week of wellness is finding a new podcast to listen to. Whether you are a history buff, a lover of pop culture, a self help junkie or into medical mysteries...the world of the podcast holds something for you. It's a great way to learn new things, to focus deeper on topics that interest you and something to be done easily while driving or exercising or cooking and house cleaning. You may have a long list of your own favorites to choose from but here are my three picks for you to check out: 1. If you have missed Oprah Winfrey you can still listen to her soothing voice and brilliant interviews on her podcast here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/oprahs-supersoul-conversations/id1264843400 2. Dax Shepard has a new-ish podcast out called ArmChair Expert and his very first interview was with his wife Kristen Bell and the two of them are very entertaining. https://armchairexpertpod.com/pods/kristen-bell 3. For my friends with insomnia issues...please check out the Sleep With Me Podcast. https://www.sleepwithmepodcast.com/ Every night you can be lulled to sleep by the dulcet tones of Scooter who aims to lull you into the dream world. and of course remember, this audio is avialable over on itunes where you can listed to back episodes anytime. https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/daily-health-tips/id1361236705

Besides the ramp up to our world premiere of the podcast we had an amazing time at Podfest with an action packed schedule with several general sessions, break out training, and hours of networking with vendors and other podcasters. We wrap up the show sharing our favorite sessions including Roberto Blake's YouTube training, Katie Krimitsos & Jessica Kupferman's "Boss Lady Workshop" and the Strategic Alliance networking workshop which got the conference off to a great start even though it felt a bit like speed dating for business contacts. We wrap up this episode chatting about Dave Jackson's Roast on the last day of the conference.

Today I talk with Drew Ackerman of the Sleep with Me Podcast. I met him at Podfest.us and I was amazed at the amount of detail he puts into a show that has a singular goal of putting you to sleep. In the interview you will hear: How Drew started his show with not the best of equipment His "Let's See What Happens" attitude How he picks the not too boring, not too entertaining topics. How he pushed through when he thought about quitting What inspired him to start the podcast How he takes it seriously, but not too seriously. What countries just don't get his show. The listener email that left him humbled. His massive amount of downloads reported in the Washington Post Check out Drew's Sleep With Me Podcast at www.sleepwithmepodcast.com Anchor.fm Trying Hard to Be Everything and Succeeding at.... I took another look at Anchor.fm now that you can create a podcast for free. This is another great example of a company knowing NOTHING about podcasting and jumping into the space. Leading people who are uninformed into situations that they are going to hate in a few months. They are going to control your feed if you let them submit your podcast feed "for you" which means later you won't be able to see your Apple stats. As a feedback mechanism, it's easy to receive feedback, but impossible to get it off your phone (and if they knew anything about podcasting they would know this). For now, I'm going to play with it for a week, but getting these files into a podcast (not using their horrible system) is not easy. Ready To Start a Podcast?

Hey Weight Loss Nation! How is everybody? Thanks to all of you, who have sent me emails, worried about me and wondering what the heck has been going on with the podcast! I had a major, and I mean MAJOR "Malware" issue, that corrupted many of my Weight Loss Nation files! Uuugggghhhhh! A huge undertaking to have some files restored and re-interview guests. All I can say.....is a "big Thank You" to everyone who contacted me! I am still here and still LIVING a long-term healthy lifestyle! We are up and running again, so episodes are being launched and operations are as back to "normal." Today, I have a special guest for you! I am speaking with Drew Ackerman......the host and producer of the highly acclaimed "Sleep With Me" podcast. If you haven't listened to the "Sleep With Me" podcast....you should be! Are you the type of person who has trouble "Falling Asleep?" Are you the type of person who has trouble "staying asleep?" If you are either one, the Sleep With Me Podcast is for you! I am the type of person who has a difficult time "staying" asleep. I've tried pills, meditation, reading, drinking tea, hot milk, taking melatonin......you name it.....I've tried it. Nothing helps "keeping me asleep,".......except.... The Sleep With Me podcast! Drew Ackerman has this monotone, even tempo voice that will "magically" put you and keep you asleep. Drew speaks "jibberish." You won't be able to make sense out of 75% of what he says. The wonderful part about it.....is that the "tone" of his voice is what matters, and he tells you a bedtime story. A bedtime story for ADULTS. A bedtime story that will help you fall asleep FAST!
