Book excerpt: Imagine solving problems and increasing creativity while you sleep. In Sleep Thinking, Dr. Eric Maisel introduces a simple but revolutionary program grounded in current brain research that shows us how to do just that -- think while we sleep. Readers will meet several ordinary people and see them work the sleep thinking program to solve their important problems as they sleep, including: -- Nancy who works through her failing interest in college -- Jack, an electrical engineer who is having anger management problems. -- Thirty-six-year-old Joanne who uses sleep thinking to help her understand how to help her eighth grader stop his slide into school failure. The sleep thinker uses his or her own brain power to extract important information from the fruits of sleep thinking. The answers that arrive lead to actions, which lead to change. Few people can afford not to explore the power of sleep thinking. In this book, Eric Maisel teaches readers how to use the full power of the brain and learn to make use of this idea management and life purpose clarification tool called sleep thinking.

Download or read book Goodnight Mind written by Colleen E. Carney and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you find yourself lying awake at night, ruminating about the events of the day? Do you toss and turn, worrying about what you have to do in the morning or what you did earlier in the day? If so, you are not alone. In fact, insomnia is the most common sleep disorder faced by the general population today. The most common complaint in those who have trouble sleeping is having a “noisy mind.” Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, it seems like you cannot silence all the internal dialogue. So what do you do when your mind is spinning and your thoughts just won’t stop? Accessible, enjoyable, and grounded in evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Goodnight Mind directly addresses the effects of rumination—or having an overactive brain—on your ability to sleep well. Written by two psychologists who specialize in sleep disorders, the book contains helpful exercises and insights into how you can better manage your thoughts at bedtime, and finally get some sleep. Traditional treatment for insomnia is usually focused on medications that promote sedation rather than on the behavioral causes of insomnia. Unfortunately, medication can often lead to addiction, and a host of other side effects. This is a great book for anyone who is looking for effective therapy to treat insomnia without the use of medication. This informative, small-format book is easy-to-read and lightweight, making it perfect for late-night reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While a number of world leaders may have claimed to be able to make do with five hours of sleep per night, for many people that little amount of sleep can – even in the short term – have serious and damaging side-effects. Major disasters have occurred as a result of poor sleep, from the destruction of the Challenger space shuttle to nuclear meltdowns such as Chernobyl and Three Mile Island, but more prevalent effects can include health disorders, the rise of depression and poor memory retention. For businesses and their employees, the impact can be incredibly detrimental – from the negative impact on decision-making and communication skills, to the stifling of creativity and innovation. The Business of Sleep delivers a serious business message: a lack of sleep will have an effect on your work and career. But the good news is that there are positive steps that can be taken. Drawing on both seminal and cutting-edge research, alongside interviews with notable CEOs and business influencers, sleep specialist Vicki Culpin offers an accessible guide to how sleep works, the consequences of poor sleep and the practical ways of mitigating against, and reducing the impact of, compromised sleep in organisational environments.

Download or read book Sleep and Dreams in Early Greek Thought written by Stephanie Holton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2024-10-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how sleep and dreams were approached in early Greek thought, highlighting the theories of the Presocratic and Hippocratic writers on both phenomena as more varied, complex, and substantial than is usually credited. It explores how the Presocratic natural philosophers and early Hippocratic medical writers developed theories which drew from wider investigations into physiology and psychology, the natural world and the self, while also engaging with wider literary depictions and established cultural beliefs. Although the focus is predominantly on Presocratic and Hippocratic ideas, this is not exclusive: attention is devoted from the outset to sleep and dreams in Homer and the mythic tradition, as well as to depictions across lyric, drama, and historiography. Sleep and Dreams in Early Greek Thought provides a fascinating study of this topic which will be of interest to students and scholars of ancient medicine and the history of science, Greek philosophy, and classical culture more broadly. It is accessible to students with or without knowledge of the classical languages, and also to anyone with a general interest in the beliefs of the classical world.
