In this podcast, Anna is with Manohar Grandhi. Manohar is from India. He has been working in the software industry for the last 14.5 years. His hobbies include reading books and watching movies. In 2019, He struggled with Insomnia and was living in desperation to sleep. He had consultations with psychologists that helped him to a certain extent but because he was desperate to fix the problem, he was put on Anti Anxiety Pills. But then during the struggle he was researching and he found out about the practice of meditation. He was expecting instant results with Meditation, but unfortunately, that was not the case. He then stuck with meditation and with time my Anxiety completely reduced, and he had no problems sleeping.
He has also written a book on his journey, and it is called "My Sleepless Nights" and is available on Amazon. He has a total of 3 books published on Amazon. Now that he has overcome the issues with sleep, he now helps people make the transition from Anxious Sleepless Nights to peaceful sleeping Nights.

Quotes:
“Cutting down on sleep is a big no because it does a lot of things. Not only for our bodies but even for our minds, it does a lot of things like removing the memories that are really not necessary.” -Manohar
“The anxiety of not sleeping was speeding insomnia. And the insomnia was in return, feeding the anxiety. So it was a vicious cycle and it was becoming difficult day by day.” -Manohar
“This is what exactly happens when you meditate initially, your mind is all over the place thinking about yesterday, thinking about the next day and what is going wrong, what is going on all these things. But once you give it time and your process with this practice, as the dust settles to the bottom, you will be able to see that the mind has cleared itself.” -Manohar
“Initially, the results are minimal and you feel like giving up, but once you persist with this habit, It's compounding, and the benefits are huge.” -Manohar
“Breaking your belief is freedom” -Manohar
