TITLE: Sleepless nights - nightmares, military - yet the solution was up to me.

MY STORY: I continued to get up through the night - I was so tired
of not getting straight sleep. I would sleep for an hour get up
sleep for an hour get up. Thought this has to change. THE REALITY -
TELL IT LIKE IT IS. Sleep had been a problem since I can remember.
As a kid I had horrible nightmares, then in the military sleep just
became a fucked cycle of always on edge. I would have these dreams
of getting shot - gun to the head wake up dripping in sweat. I
would deal with it by popping caffeine pills at 4 am then taking a
shower with a strong pot of coffee brewing. I had a hard time
getting it right... or better...nightmares as a kid, sleepless
nights in the military.... THATS MY STORY - MY STORY HAD TO CHANGE
The better question remained - what the hell could I do....this is
what I did.... IT DOESN’T START AT NIGHT....it starts from the
moment I wake up. I start my day with power - from the first step
out of bed I am geared through Warrior to live by the code. One
huge step in the right direction of starting my day with powerful
presence is CORE 4. Check out www.warriorapp.com - 6 more actions I
take that help covered in this podcast. MY QUESTION FOR YOU - What
is one thing you can do to get better sleep? Don’t wait take
action. Its not one night nor the 10 or 15 minutes lost you could
have had a bit more peace... its years and years of it all adding
up to a painful reality. Let’s flip the script and make sleep our
place of power we often replace with caffeine. Here’s to your good
life... better said - here’s to a good night sleep! Branden

best I can be. Oh by the way.... do you want more clarity, more
certainty, more ability to be present with presence? Join the Wake
Up Warrior Challenge I recently experienced personally - 30 days of
power presence earned in the work you will do. This challenge has
giving me the ability to pivot, to learn, grow - gain clarity I
could only earn within this process. I believe its not the
destination - its about the journey and the man we are becoming on
a day to day bases.
