Synopsis

How to use the insights of neuroscience and the techniques of mindfulness to get a good night's sleep.
Everyone's familiar with the consequences of lost sleep: you're groggy and irritable, 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. Drawing on the techniques of mindfulness, meditation and relaxation, and the neuroscience that underpins them all, Dr Stan gives you the tools to prepare yourself (and your children) for an excellent sleep - and enjoy it!

Aparent dacă doar citesc cărți despre somn și igiena somnului, asta nu o sa ma ajute și să dorm bine noaptea 😩😩 La ultimul capitol am dat skip super repede pentru că mă plictisea subiectul legat de cum să îți faci copiii să doarmă. Same old info, multe mantre de repetat înainte de culcare, dar și cât......more

Goodreads review by Martin on June 18, 2023

Probably a 3.8. The book started with a good background and the real meat of it all was in the third chapter. There is a lot of information I think sprinkled into the book to give it density, but I don't think there's much point to having a quiz to tell if you're getting bad sleep, and some of the ac......more

Goodreads review by Amy on March 14, 2024

So it was all right before the part he start talking about self hypnosis, like as if doing these exercise can help relieve symptoms of anxiety and stress all that but the truth is that talking to oneself like that will just make you more anxious from a psychology prospective since the brain was cons......more

Goodreads review by S on February 17, 2023

It has a couple of gems… but is missing a ton of detail. There is quite a few pages that end up saying nothing. Also, some of the advice is ambiguous and misleading if misinterpreted… If you are looking for a book with scientific detail and rigour, this is not it. If you want a shallow introduction on......more
