How are you sleeping? If you’re someone who finds yourself awake in the middle of the night, you’re not alone. In my book Answers In The Dark, I highlight that, certainly in the West, we are a Sleepless Society.

Whether you’re new to mindfulness or a seasoned meditator, you might find keeping a journal helpful.
