Everyone's familiar with the consequences of lost sleep: grogginess and irritability. Your focus is off. You don't perform at your best, and you're likely to dump sugary foods and caffeine into your system for an energy boost. But the effects of poor sleep go way beyond these concerns. Indeed, they can be life-threatening.
It's one thing to know the problem; it's another to fix it. In this book, renowned neuroscientist, Dr Stan Rodski, takes us through the fundamentals of sleep - how sleep works, why we sleep and how much sleep we need - but, most importantly, he gives us exercises to help overcome the bane of insomnia. In any endeavour, the key to achievement is proper preparation, and sleep is no different. Using mindfulness, meditation and relaxation, and the neuroscience that underpins them, Dr Stan gives you the tools to prepare yourself for a good night's sleep - and to achieve it!
