About this book
It has never been more important to sleep well.
Stop sabotaging your own sleep and finally wake up energised and refreshed
How to Sleep Well is a guidebook that can change your sleep and help you live your life more fully. Whether you struggle to fall asleep, sleep too lightly, wake too often or simply cannot wake up, this book can help you get on track to sleeping well and living better. It all starts with the science of sleep: how much you really need, what your body does during sleep and the causes behind many common sleep problems. Next, you'll identify the things in your life that are disrupting your sleep cycle and learn how to mitigate the impact; whether the pressure of workplace or you simply cannot quiet your own mind, these expert tips and tricks will help you get the sleep you need. Finally, you'll learn how to support healthy sleep during the waking hours — what works with or against your sleep — and you'll learn when the problem might be best dealt with by your GP. Â
Don't spend another restless night waiting for a bleary, groggy morning and sleepy day. Take control of your sleep tonight!
