Stephanie Romiszewski never worries about sleep - ever. And she has helped over 10,000 patients do the same. A clear-eyed and passionate antidote to both individual sleep anxiety and our current obsessive, perfectionist culture, her first book will unpack the science and fundamentals of sleep - including misunderstood concepts such as sleep drive, sleep debt and sleep sensitivity - and arm readers with simple tools for how we can each improve something we spend a third of our lives doing. Stephanie will reveal, among other counterintuitive
- The importance of a consistent wake time rather than a rigid bedtime.
- How to trust your body's natural sleep drive and rhythms.
- That 'bad' nights don't ruin your health, and variability is normal.
- That sleep isn't fragile - it's adaptable, resilient, and smarter than any hack you could throw at it.
accessible and reassuring, writing style did grate (kinda sounds like ChatGPT in parts?? so many sentences with ‘it’s not…., it’s ….’. But content pretty helpful
Book is good. Could be more concise, but I get that the author is trying to repeatedly hammer the important points, so I'm not that against it. Dispels popular sleep hacks and explains the foundation for good sleep. Hopefully will help me sleep👍 would give It 4.5 if that was an option.
A fab book, packed full of evidence-based insights and practical guidance. All delivered with a huge amount of compassion and warmth. I’ve learned so much about sleep, and it has eased a niggle that had potential to grow into one of those pesky sleep gremlins that Steph mentions in the book.
Sound advice that is already changing the way I go about sleep. However..., all this advice could fit 50 pages of text easily. The book is full of repetitions and filler content. Feels like the author asked ChatGPT to stretch the manuscript to make it 290 pages long.
