This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We sleep half of our life. Some feel like losing half others is willing to offer the other half to get a good sleep. Sleep is useful, we all need time to reset our brain, remove the pollution of unwanted memories, worrisome details, clean the neural system from leftovers of the last working day, and most of all to make a fresh start on every new day. In all countries of the world, scientists are busy with the secrets of sleep. They work in their own box. In this book, we get out of the narrow science boxes to learn and understand the reasons for sleep, what to do if we have sleep problems, and if we have how to solve them. Sleep is often connected with rituals. When we get problems with our sleep patterns and reconsider the rituals, we become aware of the importance of sleep. Normally we take our rest for granted but when deprived of our nightly escape to the dream world we become cranky, moody, and lose concentration. Sleep disorder is life-threatening. The danger of loss of focus, the impossibility of concentration, and an increasing lack of awareness become a danger to oneself. Most accidents on the road are due to sleep disorders, road signs are placed to warn drivers to stop every 2 hours to rest at least 15 minutes. Pills, also called barbiturates, hypnotics, or just drugs, seems harmless. We live in a fast time in need of actions and even faster results. The demand and supply chain is strong here. Sleep disorder patients demand the supply of pills. In each medicine box messages to the user are included: do not use this product longer than 4 to 6 weeks. Some read these lines only after many years of use. In this book we mention the danger of (over) medication, we offer natural solutions and tips on “DIY = do it yourself”. We have no borders and no limitations, everything that works is shown no matter cultural or moral background. You want to sleep, and we help you do so. Sleep disorders have become a major problem for every society. When working as a therapist (from 1979 till today) I encountered these disorders with most incoming cases. A short preliminary study in Asia showed the astonishing number of 500 million users of sleep medication drugs. Society is increasing the pressure on all of us. It seems that our lifestyle, costs, and income are all under pressure and we worry more than ever before. The daily pressure of survival makes us lose one of the most important features of relaxation: our sleep. Why do I like to assist a person with a sleep disorder? My reason is simple, I think sleep is a major part of our life and we do need to sleep to function well. With good sleep, we can make the best of our life. After a few good nights, you feel like you can handle the world. Sleeping is important to get old in a healthy way. Your life is between 1/3 in your bed and you want to do this in the most pleasant way.

Download or read book The Sleep Fix written by Diane Macedo and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From renowned ABC News anchor/correspondent and former insomniac Diane Macedo, comes a practical, user-friendly guide to getting better sleep. The Sleep Fix flips the switch on common advice, illuminating the reporter’s relentless search for how to get a good night’s sleep and the surprising, scientific, and practical solutions she found along the way. Roughly thirty percent of the population is estimated to be living with insomnia, while many more unknowingly suffer from other sleep disorders. In The Sleep Fix, Macedo aims to change that with perspective-shifting research and easy-to-implement solutions based not just on science and experts, but also her own years-long struggle. As an early-morning reporter and overnight news anchor, Macedo learned the hard way how valuable sleep is, and how it affects everything from our heart to our brain to our immune system. The longer Macedo struggled, the more her health deteriorated. Desperate, she tried standard sleep tip after standard sleep tip, but nothing worked - instead, it made her worse. Finally, after developing a tolerance to sleeping pills, Macedo decided to attack the problem as a journalist, interviewing sleep experts from all over the world to get to the bottom of what really keeps us from sleeping—and the various ways to fix it. As Macedo explains, the solution to catching zzz’s isn’t as simple as giving up caffeine, or putting away your phone before bed. With her down-to-earth explanations and humor, she instead teaches us how to: • Understand sleep biology • Identify sleep obstacles • Flag sleep myths and separate fact from fiction • Try counterintuitive approaches • Shift our mindset Most importantly, Macedo — a busy, working mom — teaches us how to adjust and fit these solutions into our everyday lives. Offering expert wisdom, cutting-edge research, intimate sleep stories from public figures, and actionable advice, The Sleep Fix is the tell-it-like-it-is guide this sleep-deprived world has been waiting for.
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.
