And so I just remember that.

And I still get that through meditation sometimes, which is crazy.

And I ended up falling asleep.

I had, I suffered with like just, I didn't sleep for years, like forever.

I did a sleep study and everything.

I was not entering REM sleep for years.

I genuinely just did not sleep.

So that, you know, clearly did not help with everything else going on.

I actually, like, I got diagnosed with sleep apnea.

Like, I'm in pretty good shape.

There's, you know, no underlying conditions with that.

But for some reason, a lot of veterans end up suffering from that.

So...

Sleep was something that had eluded me for years.

And those six hours in that nap were the best I'd slept since I was a kid.

And I wake up and I feel completely refreshed.

And I walk out to the balcony and I'm overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

And this is where things got really profound for me.

So I had gone through selection in Coronado off the coast of San Diego.

And every day I would look at the Coronado Islands south towards Mexico.
