The Neuroscience of Excellent Sleep (Large Print)

Description

How to use the insights of neuroscience and the techniques of mindfulness to get a good nights sleep. Everyones familiar with the consequences of lost sleep: youre groggy and irritable, your focus is off, you dont perform at your best, and youre likely to dump sugary foods and caffeine into your system for an energy boost. But the effects of poor sleep go way beyond these concerns. Indeed, they can be life-threatening. Its one thing to know the problem, its another to fix it. In this book, renowned neuroscientist Dr Stan Rodski takes us through the fundamentals of sleep - how sleep works, why we sleep and how much sleep we need - but, most importantly, he gives us exercises to help overcome the bane of insomnia. In any endeavour, the key to achievement is proper preparation, and sleep is no different. Drawing on the techniques of mindfulness, meditation and relaxation, and the neuroscience that underpins them all, Dr Stan gives you the tools to prepare yourself (and your children) for an excellent sleep - and enjoy it!
