"A smart and sometimes counterintuitive (who cares when you go to bed?) guide that will solve readers' sleep anxiety once and for all!"--Amazon
If there's anything worse that not getting sleep, it's lying awake with a scare-face staring at the ceiling worrying about it. Here's Romiszewski's--a sleep physiologist and founder of the UK's Sleepyhead Clinics -- promise: "This book is your guide to liberating yourself from the endless cycle of sleep anxiety and obsession. By the end, you'll have regained control - not through perfection, but by letting go of the need to constantly manage your sleep. Sleep will start working for you, not as something to fear or fix, but as your natural ally. And best of all, it will no longer dominate your thoughts." Think less, sleep more is a sensible take on sleep with some counterintuitive twists to current accepted dogma, such as that we all need more sleep and that segmented sleep -- aka waking up in the middle of the night -- is a killer. It's a health and wellness sigh-of-relief book: there are some readjustments to make, both mental and physical, but a key takeaway is that whatever you're doing now is probably better than you think
