In response to a subscriber's question to make an episode about sleep & Insomnia in Chinese medicine. 
Podcast includes - intro to insomnia in CM, quick overview of the types listed by 3 TCM Books/popular authours for TCM Students, Exploring two patterns of disharmony where people could have the most influence / help themselves the most 
1. Yangming pattern / Stomach Heat / Stomach Fire / Food Stagnation - these are all similar 
2. Deficiency patterns --> heart and kidney not communicating pattern - Taxation in Classical CM - Discussing some of the common deficiency types - Deficency of yang, deficiency of Blood, Yin etc.  
This is a massive topic and this is really just an intro into exploring how Insomnia is viewed in the CM lense.
