Rest Without Rules : The Simple Science of Letting Go and Falling Asleep
You deserve a good night's sleepDoes your mind speed up the moment you lie down to sleep? If you're exhausted, wired, or tired of being told to practice good sleep hygiene (again), this practical, therapist-written guide is what you need. Instead of quick fixes or rigid rules, this book offers small experiments, flexible tools, and a more compassionate way of relating to your mind and body at bedtime. If you want a realistic, science-based, and kinder approach to restless nights, this book will help you rebuild a steadier relationship with sleep without beating yourself up in the process.
Build a calmer, more sustainable relationship with sleepIn clear, grounded language, Rest Without Rules explains how sleep really works, why modern life throws it off, and what you can do about it starting tonight. You'll find simple ways to reduce bedtime anxiety, handle middle-of-the-night wakeups, and step out of the "trying to sleep" loop that makes everything worse.
You'll learn what to do when your mind starts bargaining ("If I fall asleep by 11…"), when you're tempted to check the clock, or when one bad night turns into dread about the next. You'll also get daytime changes that support better nights without gimmicks or tracking, so you're not living your life around sleep.
Practical tools for real-life insomnia momentsThis book blends clear sleep science with proven cognitive-behavioral and acceptance-based strategies to help your system feel safer at night. You'll learn how to work with sleep pressure and circadian rhythm, how to calm the stress response that keeps you wired, and how to respond differently to wakefulness so you're not feeding the cycle.
The goal isn't perfect sleep, it's a steadier, more forgiving relationship with rest that gives sleep room to return.
