Ep.80, Bedlessness: The Overlooked Sleep Crisis Affecting Thousands of Children, Luke Mickelson

What if one of the biggest threats to a child's health, development, and success wasn't a medical condition—but simply not having a bed? In this powerful episode of ASAP Pathway, Dr. Stacy Becker sits down with Luke Mickelson, founder of Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP), a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring that no child sleeps on the floor in their town.

What began as a single bunk bed built in Luke's garage for a local child has grown into a global movement with more than 400 chapters, nearly 500,000 beds delivered, and a mission that is transforming communities across the United States and beyond. Luke shares the emotional story that launched Sleep in Heavenly Peace, the heartbreaking reality of childhood bedlessness, and why something as simple as a bed can profoundly impact a child's physical health, emotional wellbeing, education, confidence, and future.

The conversation also explores purpose, service, leadership, entrepreneurship, founder syndrome, and how acting on small moments can lead to extraordinary change. Whether you're a healthcare provider, educator, parent, business leader, or simply someone looking for hope and inspiration, this episode is a powerful reminder that one person truly can make a difference.
