Solo Sleep: Hidden Portal to Awakening

Is solo sleep the most underrated portal to healing, empowerment, and divine connection?

Cynthia Zak, author of The Joy of Sleeping Alone, shares a counterintuitive message — that a solo night’s sleep can be a powerful act of self-care, clarity, and spiritual evolution.

Drawing from her decades of study in Sufism, Hinduism, and Kabbalah, Zak unravels the cultural conditioning around sleep and reveals why our bodies, hormones, and dreams thrive when we honor sleeping solo. Through simple yet potent rituals, she shows how to turn your bed into a sacred sanctuary.

This isn’t “sleep divorce.” It’s a return to sleep as ceremony… an invitation to make your rest sovereign, your bed sacred, and your night a portal to awakening.
