His essay “Wake Up to the Dark” is featured in the January/February 2023 issue of Spirituality + Health.

“Our metabolic force, our life force, is not sufficient to override this ancient pattern that’s really hardwired into our DNA—to wake after 4 hours. So, what a lot of people experience as insomnia later in life is actually nothing of the kind. It’s simply a reversion to this ancient pattern of sleep.

In this episode, Clark and Rabbi Rami talk about harmful technology, evolutionary sleep patterns, and the Divine Feminine.
