Almost everyone recovering from burnout mentions their sleep, usually quietly.

This episode brings it into the main conversation. Chris Wilson sits down with Kathryn Pinkham, founder of The Insomnia Clinic and one of the UK's leading sleep specialists, on why you can't sleep and what actually fixes it: what insomnia really is, why burnout leaves you exhausted but wide awake, why sleep hygiene falls short, and how CBT-I helps people sleep again without relying on medication. Kathryn also talks through what coming off sleep medication involves.

- What insomnia actually is, by clinical definition, and how the circadian rhythm shapes it

- Why burnout leaves you exhausted but wide awake, and what is happening physiologically

- Why standard sleep hygiene falls short, and what CBT-I does differently
