Lena is not sure she can do enough to protect herself from Covid-19. Cara was doing really well having worked with a sleep therapist until the day she graduated. Matt is temporarily living with his mother who just tested positive for Covid-19, what should he do to not worry around bedtime. Will bedtime restriction work for early morning awakenings? Gary asks. TinyTia wonders if alpha stimulators are a good idea and Malena asks what to do if you wake up when everyone else is sleeping.
