While You Were Sleeping

April 21, 2026 · 51 min

Show notes

Sleep — a time to rest, recover, and reset, allowing you to wake refreshed and ready to face a brand new day. That elusive eight hours we all strive for, filled with dreams that quietly keep us company through the night. But for Cindy, sleep wasn’t a luxury. It was something a little more complicated

And while those complications can steal those dreams away - what you don’t expect is for them to be replaced by nightmares — not the kind you have in your sleep, but the kind that are happening in real life.
