March 17th is World Sleep Day and our special column focuses on a book that tackles with broken sleep, its causes it and ways to fix it.
If we want to fix our sleep problems, the reality is that Internet tips and tricks are not going to do it for us. In fact, we need to really understand what is going on with our sleep – both what problems we are facing, and how to solve them.
The “Sleep Solution” comes to the rescue, guiding us through an exciting journey of sleep self-discovery, providing an understanding that will help anyone custom design specific interventions to fit their lifestyle.
Dubbed the “Sleep Whisperer” by Arianna Huffington, neurologist and sleep expert W. Chris Winter Winter has helped more than 10,000 patients rest better at night, including countless professional athletes. Now, he is bringing his experiences out from under the covers, in order to redefine what it means to have optimal sleep and get the sleep we really need.
In “Sleep Solution”, Dr. Winter draws on his twenty-four years of experience within the field, providing readers with tips, tricks, exercises and illustration to:
- Understand how sleep works and the ways in which food, light, and other activities act to help or hurt the process;
- Learn why sleeping pills are so often misunderstood and used incorrectly—and how we can achieve your best sleep without them;
- Incorporate sleep and napping into our life—whether a shift worker, student, or overcommitted parent;
- Think outside the box to better understand ways to treat a multitude of conditions—from insomnia to sleep apnea to restless leg syndrome and circadian sleep disorders;
- Wade through the ever-changing sea of sleep technology and understand its value as it relates to our own sleep struggles.
