In this episode, Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler discuss the Greek Dark Ages and ancient Greek agriculture, the hard decision to leave California, and an appraisal of non-fiction, especially histories.
For good sleep you need a cool, dark, and quiet environment. Someone I work with recommended wearing cold socks as it can lower your body temperature. She said to place a pair of socks in the fridge for a few hours and then wear them at bedtime. It may help.
I would also try Motrin PM if you have to get a good night’s sleep before a big event. It will zonk you out but you will feel groggy the next morning.

Hi Victor,

I find this helpful, as well as no alcohol while you’re struggling.
Feel better! Victor, you’re a national treasure!
