No Rest for the Wired: Sleep, Trauma, CPTSD and the Exhaustion Nobody Talks About

No Rest for the Wired: Sleep, Trauma, CPTSD and the Exhaustion Nobody Talks About

Author: Toby & Rudy April 1, 2026 Duration: 1:19:07
Everyone tells you to get more sleep. Nobody tells you what to do when your nervous system treats sleep like a threat. In this episode of More, Toby and Rudy get honest about something that touches almost every person living with trauma, CPTSD, addiction or neurodivergence. And something that almost never gets a proper conversation. Not the tired version of sleep advice you've heard a hundred times. The real version. What it actually feels like when rest itself becomes the thing you can't hav...

More is a raw and intimate space where the relentless pursuit of 'more'-be it escape, numbness, or validation-is examined not as an abstract concept, but as a lived reality. Hosted by individuals who have navigated addiction, mental illness, trauma, and neurodiversity from the inside, this podcast strips away the veneer of polished recovery narratives. You'll hear conversations grounded in the hard-won understanding that comes only after hitting rock bottom and burning old lives to the ground. The rebuilding discussed here follows no manual; it's knowledge forged in personal fire. Each episode offers unscripted dialogue between people who have walked through these experiences, focusing on the ongoing, often messy work of reassembling a life. It’s about the complexities of society and culture as they intersect with personal health, fitness, and mental landscapes, all framed through a lens of gritty, authentic self-improvement. Tuning into this podcast means listening in on discussions where textbook advice falls short, replaced by the nuanced, sometimes contradictory truths of actual lived experience. The dialogue moves freely across categories, from the deeply personal to the broadly societal, always rooted in the conviction that the most valuable lessons are often found in the ashes.
