for first responders, corrections, undercover, and veterans. the ones who run toward what everyone else runs from, and then stare at the ceiling at 3am.
sons of thunder
the shift planner with a sleep system built in. launching on kickstarter november 10.
it is 3am somewhere right now, and someone who ran toward the thing everyone else ran from is staring at a ceiling. fourth sleep period in a row that did not hold. nobody trains them for that part. there is gear for everything else. this is the gear for sleep: an undated shift planner that runs the week they actually work, with a private sleep system inside that runs on their sleep period, not the wall clock. two-minute check-ins. a worst-night page. the words to ask for real help, by name. and privacy printed on page two: we never see a word you write.
purchases are retail, not donations. this book does not treat ptsd or anything else, and it says so in ink. that honesty is the product.
COMING NOVEMBER 10
two separate SONS OF THUNDER heavyweight hoodies. both available in sand and grey. campaign first, store in december.
autism. adhd. ptsd. different patterns, same truth: nothing changes until the pattern is seen. this world is for the pattern nobody is allowed to admit: the dreams that follow the shift home, the sleep scores in the 20s, the silence because saying it out loud can cost the job. we don’t diagnose it. we recognize it.
where this is headed
sons of thunder is the first product from the edge, a private sleep residence, a vision in development, built for first responders and veterans to spend seven measured nights focused on rest. the planner is complete without the residence. the people who back it simply get to watch what it grows into.
the edge is for first responders, veterans, people in recovery, people living with illness, and people on many medications whose sleep has been taken.
Never change or stop a medication without talking to your prescriber.
I came here worn down. I am allowed to sleep.
