How To Be Awake (So You Can Sleep Through the Night)

About this book

A great night's sleep starts long before your head hits the pillow

When it comes to getting the sleep we need, we tend to focus on perfecting a bedtime routine in the hour before bed but, in doing so, we're missing the biggest factor that dictates our sleep quality: how we spend our days.

In this groundbreaking and practical guide, sought-after sleep psychotherapist Heather Darwall-Smith explores how our 'always-on' lives are wreaking havoc when the time comes to rest. In doing so, she reshapes our understanding of sleep, and the struggles that surround it, to offer powerful insights for meaningful change.

With practical exercises and expert guidance, you'll learn:

  • What the stress of daily life is doing to your nervous system
  • Simple ways to reset, rest and recover during the day that will transform your sleep
  • The impact that environment, technology, nutrition, hormones and exercise have on you and your sleep
  • How to solve your sleep issues by looking at your whole life

This book will transform your relationship with sleep and help you create the conditions for a restful night, so you can wake up to a brighter, more energised tomorrow.
