In this episode, I focus on sleep pharmacology.

Now we've had plenty of previous episodes about sleep. We've talked about sleep biology, sleep hygiene. even cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia or CBTI, and even different sleep supplements. But we've never done anything more than sort of a skim of the surface on sleep medications. And the intention of this episode is to fill that obviously very important void.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (55 minutes, 7,869 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

No account needed, we create one from your checkout email. With credits it is 1 credit; packs start at 10 episodes for $5, and monthly plans are cheaper still.
