If you have sleep issues, you will find helpful tips in this book. As someone that’s had insomnia for 23 years I devoured this book. There’s a lot of information in here that was really eye opening. I’m looking forward to trying a few things and fingers crossed I get a little more sleep.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the copy of this book for an honest review in exchange!
I was really looking forward to reading this book because I am someone who has worked nights as an RN for over 1o years. I appreciated the clinical portions, the personal portions of this book, and the ability to take these suggestions and practically implement them into your life. I found this book incredibly helpful!
Thank you to NetGalley, Harper Collins and Diane Macedo for an advance digital copy of this book.
Diane Macedo is a news anchor and correspondent for ABC and former insomniac. After struggling for years from sleep deprivation and the numerous health problems that accompany it, the author decided to tackle the subject using her skills as a reporter. This book is research based, covers common sleep disorders, and offers doable solutions. This is not a one size fits all guide to sleep, since all sleep problems are not the same. Lots of details, such as advice on mattresses, pillows and curtains are included in this very useful book. I have read numerous books on sleep and this is one of the most helpful and detailed ones I have come across. For those suffering from sleep problems, this is a must read!
Some very useful information, particularly for shift workers and those regularly dealing with jet lag. Many props (apps, blinds, sense limiters, devices) were suggested, so anyone with enough money to spend should find their fix. I got a little bogged down in the many, many personal anecdotes describing the author’s multitude of sleep/health issues.
As someone who stares at the clock in the middle of the night, this book seemed right up my alley. It was very interesting, with practical advice that I will give a try the next time it is 3 a.m. and I am invariably awake. Especially nowadays, it is easy for your mind to work on processing the day, or the latest bad news. This book was exactly what I needed to get me out of a reading slump!
