How to find your way to healthy sleep – without magical pills and without dreary routines?
Journalist Diane Masedo – ABC news anchor and Emmy award winner – suffered from insomnia and dependence on sleeping pills for many years. When the medications stopped helping, she decided to approach the problem professionally: with journalistic persistence, scientific interest, and common sense. In this book, she has gathered the most effective, unexpected, and working methods for restoring sleep, based on data from sleep science, psychological practice, and her own experiments. Here you will find: proven ways to combat insomnia and snoring; practices for restoring circadian rhythms; sleep tactics for night shift work; the role of nutrition, light, temperature, and habits in falling asleep; advice from sleep scientists, neurologists, therapists, and psychologists.
The book not only helps you sleep better but also provides tools to adapt sleep to real life, where there are children, stress, shift schedules, caffeine, deadlines, and gadgets.
