About this ebook
For readers of Arianna Huffington's The Sleep Revolution—an individualized approach to sleep issues from the expert doctors who wrote The Insomnia Answer.
Good sleep is an elusive goal: The harder you try to fall asleep, the less likely you are to be successful. Insomnia is stoked by different habits, schedules, stresses, beliefs, and even personality types—but there is no single pill or therapy to reverse it. Sleep cannot be forced—ultimately, it must come to you.
While insomnia treatments can set the stage, the best thing a person can do to ready themselves for sleep is to get sleepy. This practical, easy-to-follow guide written by two founding experts in behavioral sleep medicine will help you achieve one of the most important parts of staying healthy: a good night's rest. Taking into account the particular challenges that stand in your way to better sleep, Glovinsky and Spielman:
True sleepiness is the only reliable portal to sleep. You Are Getting Sleepy will guide you there.
