If you have sleepless nights and wake up tired, help is on the way. In this book, you will learn some quick and easy exercises to help you get a solid night's sleep, including a simple trick that guarantees a more interesting and productive day. Everything you need to know is inside
In part one, you will learn how to reset your cyclical nature in as little as 10 minutes a day so you can sleep better at night and be more relaxed and productive.
Even if your time were worth only $10 an hour, sleeping better for one extra hour a night and being more productive for two additional hours during the day will save you $40 after just two nights. These exercises can save you more than thirty hours of tossing and turning in the first month alone––and what you can do with those extra hours of productivity is priceless.
In part two, you will explore how to work a few brief activities into your day that will help you not only sleep better, but will make it easier for you to focus, learn, read, drive, and accomplish your dreams. If you spend five to ten minutes a day exploring how you feel, what you see, hear, and sense the world around you, the value and quality of your waking and sleeping hours will increase significantly.
In part three, the focus is on three easy ways to increase your comfort levels while both sleeping and being awake, so you can move freely and enjoy life. Pain can significantly decrease your quality of sleep. You will learn specific tips about changing the level of comfort and ease with which you use your body, whether you are sleeping, walking, SCUBA Diving or listening to the birds outside.
Part four focuses on "what's new," and the effect noticing and creating opportunities for novelty and learning has on sleep and waking productivity.
Whether you live for another 40 or 80 years, this program will increase the quality of a third of your lifetime––yes, we are talking about time spent sleeping, but more importantly, this time greatly influences the other 16+ hours a day, 365 days a year, so you can feel better, think more clearly, and enjoy every moment of your life. Create your ultimate life today.

Quotes from Kimberly Burnham PhD The Nerve Whisperer (2011). Balancing the Sleep-Wake Cycle, Sleep Better, Learn Faster, Contribute More, and Enjoy Life to Its Fullest. West Hartford, CT, The Nerve Whisperer Press.
"Sleep is the best meditation." —Dalai Lama, quoted in Balancing the Sleep-Wake Cycle.
"Pick something up every day and notice the shape, color, texture, sound, taste, smell, temperature, and consistency. Notice how the parts make up the whole and how it is connected to its surroundings. How is it similar or different from the other things around you? What changes in you when you truly see your natural environment and the people around you. —Kimberly Burnham, PhD, The Nerve Whisperer in Balancing the Sleep-Wake Cycle.
"Change your relationship with light: sunlight, artificial light, visual information, and your sight or sensory experience of light." —Kimberly Burnham, PhD, The Nerve Whisperer in Balancing the Sleep-Wake Cycle.
"This exploration of the sleep-wake cycle will help you release the symptoms of insomnia (not sleeping well), narcolepsy (sleeping at the wrong time), fibromyalgia (chronic pain and fatigue), and restless leg syndrome (movement disturbing sleep). Start with one exercise and sleep better tonight. You will learn solutions in several categories: Cycle Balance: You will sleep better, wake up energized, and be productive by resetting your cyclical nature. Novelty Is the Key: You will sleep better at the end of an interesting and enjoyable day. Pain Free: You will achieve comfortable, restful, restorative sleeping."—Kimberly Burnham, PhD, The Nerve Whisperer in Balancing the Sleep-Wake Cycle.
"Regulate your emotions, improve your liver health, and reset your internal Chinese clock as well as your circadian rhythms." —Kimberly Burnham, PhD, The Nerve Whisperer in Balancing the Sleep-Wake Cycle.
"Employers spend approximately $3,200 more in healthcare costs on employees with sleep problems than for those who sleep well."—The Institute of Medicine quoted in Balancing the Sleep-Wake Cycle.
"Seriously, though, it is not something to laugh about. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s statistics show that 100,000 vehicle accidents occur annually due to drowsy driving––and an estimated 1,500 people die each year in those collisions."—National Highway Traffic Safety Administration quoted in Balancing the Sleep-Wake Cycle.
"I spoke with a police officer whose shift ran from ten at night to six in the morning. His main job was to catch drunk drivers. However, he has found himself increasingly pulling over tired drivers instead. He can’t impound their cars, so he usually ends up scaring them enough that they stay awake till they get home. And it is scary, because according to this officer, there is little difference between the weaving of a drunk driver on the highway and the weaving of a tired driver." —Kimberly Burnham, PhD, The Nerve Whisperer in Balancing the Sleep-Wake Cycle.
"These solutions are for people who want to have some steam left at six in the evening so they can enjoy the last part of the day without feeling like they are going to pass out from exhaustion. They don’t want to be like a friend of mine, who says, “I know I am too tired when, at night after work, I find myself stopping at a stop sign and waiting for it to turn green.” —Kimberly Burnham, PhD, The Nerve Whisperer in Balancing the Sleep-Wake Cycle. http://www.amazon.com/Kimberly-Burnha...
"The hormone, melatonin, produced in the pineal gland and in the intestines is associated with brain health and sleep as well as the ability of your digestive system to recover from inflammation, injury and food poisoning. Specifically, melatonin balance is associated with the Earth elements. The Traditional Chinese Medicine elements are Wood, Metal, Earth, Fire and Water. The organs associated with the Earth elements are Spleen (melatonin, GABA), Pancreas (insulin) and the Stomach (acetylcholine)." —Kimberly Burnham, PhD, The Nerve Whisperer in Balancing the Sleep-Wake Cycle.
Remember: "Worrying is like praying for what you don't want." —Anonymous quoted in Balancing the Sleep-Wake Cycle. http://www.amazon.com/Kimberly-Burnha...
