Better Sleep, Better You is another informative book about how important it is that we get our rest.
Put down your phone and get some sleep. We’re hurting ourselves and we don’t even know it.
The was helpful, informative and beneficial to understanding why we need sleep. I liked the helpful questionnaire to narrow down potential issues. It gives step by step advice to improve sleep. Isn’t that great? I’m paraphrasing here but basically, “sleep is the clean-up crew that puts everything back together after the wear and tear of the day.”
The book talks about:
• Carcadian rhythm
• Memory
• Neurons
• Gut maintenance
• Hormones
• Immune system
• Inflammation
• Melatonin
• Endocrine system
• Sleeping pills
• Insomnia
• Sleep trackers (which I think helped me personally)
• Naps
• Exercise
• Diet
• Meditation
• Alcohol and Caffeine
• Dreams
This was good. I feel like EVERYONE needs to read this. I highly recommend it.
Thank you Little, Brown and Company via Netgalley for gifting me this ebook. I’m voluntarily leaving my review.

I listened to this Audiobook over the last week, started on a long drive back from Colorado, finished it today. Good discussion on the science of sleep, with tips, issues, good habits, etc.
I sleep terribly, probably the biggest issue is consistency. Time I go to bed. Eating snacks and or coffee late. Made a big deal in this book on relaxation techniques and diet as a means to better prepare for good sleep. Going to try a lot of these tips/habits to try to get a more consistent.

Better Sleep, Better You: Your No-Stress Guide for Getting the Sleep You Need and the Life You Want
By Frank Lipman, Neil Parikh, and Rachel Holtzman
I really enjoyed reading this book and learning from the experts about the importance of sleep and how sleeplessness is detrimental to our health and well-being that can affect not only in the immediate effects but also the long-term consequences such as obesity, hormone imbalances, diabetes, heart, and Alzheimer’s disease.
The experts in the field do not offer quick fix solutions but instead go deep dive into the reasons and scientific facts about the causes and how to manage a solution that is not a one size fix-all. The book serves as a guide to help personalize a solution that will work for any individual’s lifestyle and needs.
I enjoyed reading about the stories and examples, the easy to implement sleep protocol, and everything I would need to have a better sleep life balance, that will prevent chronic illness that will be a detriment to health and happiness.
Thank you Little Brown for the gifted book. This was amazing.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.
"Better Sleep, Better You" is an easy guide to how lack of sleep affects your everyday life and how to get better sleep. It offers the typical roadblocks to sleep, such as physical, stress, etc... Yes, the scientific parts were a little tiring to get through, but they were necessary to understand why sleep is so important. I did the 21 Sleep Reset and it helped me improve my sleep patterns. I liked the easy to follow suggestions on how to restart your sleep.

Many people don’t know this but having quality sleep is important.
Sleep is a must for our growth and wellbeing. Sleep gives you the power to work hard, stay focus, and be happy. Shying away from sleep can turn us into either irritating lovers and lazy managers. A night of good sleep has the energy to make you a college topper and an energetic athlete.
Convinced enough? 😀
Most of the time people know the importance of sleep. But they still struggle with sleeping. Because we lack planning and are not aware of sleep.
Sleep is something we don't talk about in general, unlike other bad habits. This makes it harder to understand how important is sleep. You WHO has declared sleep as a global epidemic.
Worry not there is a book which can help you in sleeping from just day one.
Better Sleep, Better You by Frank Lipman, Neil Parikh, and Rachel Holtzman.
This book is not written by some guy who loves sleep but by those who are leaders and advocators of sleep. Frank Lipman is a doctor who combines modern medicine with old healing techniques. While Neil Parikh is the founder of the company Casper, which is making sleep easier and fun. And last, but not least Rachel Holtzman is a book collaborator & brand strategist.
This book is another informative book about how important it is that we have our daily dose of rest.
I enjoyed reading the novel and learned how to sleep well. Book has all sorts of fun tricks, like earthing or using a night mask to avoid light exposure.
Here the authors don't go into explaining sleep in details like Why we Sleep. But still, convince you to start falling sleep.
The best thing I like about this book is that there are actionable steps here. If you are struggling with sleep and don't know where to start from you will love this book. At the end of the book, there include 21 days reset plan which is going to restore your sleep.
Finally, you need to get hold of this novel and read it. After reading it you will realize how sleep is a blessing for us. And you will understand how we can use sleep for our growth and well-being.
Happy Sleeping!

In Better Sleep, Better You, Dr. Frank Lipman, MD, and Neil Parikh offer easy to understand advice on how to improve your sleep, as well as clear explanations of why it’s so important to do so. I already knew that sleep is important, but I found some of the risks associated with sleep deprivation discussed in the Introduction scary.
Thankfully, most of the book is written in a friendly and encouraging tone. The authors are realistic that most of us will not have perfect sleep habits, but they offer such a wide variety of suggestions that everyone should be able to find some practical methods for improving sleep quantity and quality. Many of the recommendations are backed up by references to scientific studies, but the authors also share personal experiences.
I liked how the authors described different types of insomniacs and provided suggestions for each type. They also discuss how sleep needs change through different life stages, with special tips for children, teens, and the elderly. Throughout the book, the authors suggest different products, apps, supplements, and other resources to improve sleep.
The last chapter of the book provides a 3-week sleep reset program, which is just a very brief summary of the previously discussed recommendations, organized by a different goal each week:
(1) Change your habits to prioritize your natural rhythm.
(2) Reduce habits that are barriers to healthy sleep.
(3) Develop healthy new habits.
If you’re not getting enough quality sleep, and most of us aren’t, this book offers many helpful suggestions.
I was provided an unproofed ARC through NetGalley that I volunteered to review.

This book really had the potential to be so much better. It started off strong and had a lot of good information about the physiology of sleep and the pathophysiology of insomnia, but then it soon veered off into pseudo medicine rather than actual science based fact. Like a lot of other recent health related books, this one seemed to dismiss a lot of modern Western medical care, opting instead for “natural” remedies and some nebulous concept of “traditional Chinese medicine” that the authors kept referring to. Sadly, although there was actually some useful info in this book, it was interspersed with a lot of recommendations that were unproven, if not downright harmful (like avoiding antibiotics and anti-arrhythmics). Instead of focusing on specific yoga positions, the benefits of taking CBD/THC, and a variety of unregulated and non-FDA approved supplements, this book would have been better served by spending more time describing cognitive behavior therapy and other treatment/preventative modalities that have been better studied.
Also, it was bizarre that the book kept referring to “Frank” (the physician who supposedly authored the book), without Frank ever speaking in the first person. Maybe he was too busy sleeping to actually write this book himself?
Overall, highly disappointed. For those looking for a better book on sleep, I’d highly recommend checking out “Sleep Through Insomnia,” by Brandon Peters instead.

There is some good information in this book and a little (for me anyway) questionable info. As the authors say, use what works for you. Although Frank Lipman and Neil Parikh are listed as the main authors, the book's content was actually written by Rachel Holtzman. There is A LOT of repetition. Either she's using the idea that you need to repeat something three plus times for people to remember it or the publishers wanted a 240+ page book and she only received enough material for a 125 page book and had to stretch it to fill the required length. All to say, I found the format readable but annoying. There is no specific information regarding menopause and hot flashes, which is what disrupts my sleep the most. This omission is not surprising given the authors but as it is a reality that impacts a significant number of women it was disappointing that it wasn't addressed head on. Oh, they refer to hormones but I did not find anything in those references remotely helpful. Although there are three pages that supposedly addresses sleep issues for seniors, this book is really geared toward a younger audience. There are some practical suggestions overall, however, so I'll see if any of these lifestyle adjustments help.

It's got some helpful tidbits but it seems like they were trying to fill a book with a small amount of information, so it feels repetitive.
I like some of the ideas, like get more sun, get active, don't be in bed except for sleep, etc. but some of it seems pretty wild. One of the suggestions is to "spend 30 minutes twice a week walking barefoot in grass to reconnect with the earth and bring natural rhythm back into your life"... what?
Another suggestion for sleeping better was "try some CBD or THC" what kind of recommendation is this? The book bashes supplements and pills for sleep, but will recommend trying a substance that is illegal in many places, and doesn't explain further - like how much to try or why it improves sleep. It seems like it was written by an amateur and a few select parts of the book were looked over by a doctor.
Lastly, it assumes that no disease that affects sleep exists. It discredits anyone with sleep apnea, snoring, insomnia, etc and tells them just to "sleep better".
You might get some good things out of this book, but I think you could get the same info reading a few websites about sleep for free.

Science meets common sense in Better Sleep, Better You, a well organized, fact filled guide to getting that elusive good night’s sleep. Frank Lipman and Neil Parikh begin with a look at the importance of daily rhythms and how artificial light disturbs our sleep. The authors show how changes to our biological clocks also change our bodies and emotions. Chapters progress through diet and exercise to how to prepare your bedroom for optimum sleep. There’s even a section on dreams analyzing what they mean and during which sleep level they appear. Apps to improve lifestyle and sleep patterns are suggested. The final section proposes a three week body reset guaranteed to improve sleep and wellbeing.
Better Sleep, Better You is a perfect reference book for everyone’s bookshelf. Easy to read and full of advice, it’s a 5 star guide to getting 5 star sleep.
Thank you to NetGalley, Little, Brown and Company, Dr. Frank Lipman and Neil Parikh for this ARC.

**ARC Review**
If you have ever wondered what affects sleep, why it's important to you and how to fix your sleep, well you may have found the right book for you. Lipman and Parikh go over hormones, environment, eating habits, stress, and other areas of your life that will affect your sleep. They explain the good, the bad and the ugly of what happens when one area is not balanced with the other, they give your the risks and the benefits. Now, this is not to replace an actual doctor, but it is a guide to help you to have better sleep. It explains all the areas of your life that are affected by lack of sleep, why you can not catch up on sleep, how much sleep and what kind of sleep you should be getting. It goes into detail about things you can do to fix your sleep habits. They even include a three-week challenge to reset your sleep. It's an overall interesting book with good details and examples.

I typically do not highlight my books, but I did in this one! There were so many interesting pieces of information and suggestions that I felt I needed to mark them. The authors do a good job of taking a bunch of scientific information and boiling it down to a few easy to interpret statements. They offer good suggestions on how to re-wire your body in order to get better sleep. I will definitely be trying some of the stretches and yoga poses they described. There are a lot of recommended herbs and supplements to try instead of medications, which, while informative, may not be ok depending on your health issues and doctor recommendations. Overall, good suggestions on simple things you can do to help yourself reset and fall into better sleep habits. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

This book is all about getting a great night’s sleep.
It is very informative with lots of facts, tips, and scientific studies about how to get a good night’s sleep. It is also easy to read and understand. Included is a quiz to find what keeps you from sleeping, things to do to help you sleep better, and a 21-day reset program. I took lots of notes and am implementing several of the tips to help me sleep better. So far it’s working out well. I feel more rested when I wake up in the morning. I just wish I could block out more of the light coming in through my windows from the outside. If you have trouble sleeping, pick up a copy of this book! You won’t be disappointed!

This is an easy-to-use guide to fixing your broken internal clock so you can get better sleep. It delves into the different systems of the body and how they interact to affect sleep. I appreciated the scientific explanations for why the different strategies work.
The book helps you identify which sleep problems you have so you can find the best methods for correcting them. It also includes a three-week program for resetting your internal clock, something it might be helpful to repeat during the change of seasons to get you back to your optimal state.

El libro plantea una ruta para poco a poco recuperar el ritmo vital y aprender a vivir para dormir: hacer ejercicio, comer, meditar... Contiene información súper útil. No todo lo que se propone aquí es fácil de llevar a cabo, pero sí sirve como una pauta y, sobre todo, ayuda a entender por qué no dormimos bien y cómo el insomnio y la falta de sueño afectan la salud, el estado de ánimo, todo.
El método sería perfecto si tomara en cuenta el el organismo de las mujeres: los periodos, las hormonas, la perimenopausia, etc. Si alguien sabe de un texto como este, pero con esa info, avíseme por favor.

This book is so boring. I may come back to it some day when I'm more in the mood for reading a book full of scientific jargon and spends the first chapter chucking every known health problem at you. It's so dry and boring that I just couldn't take it any more.
I'm sure the advice is very useful, and I would like to know more about how to get better sleep, but right now I suspect that the answer is to just read this book.
Sorry! I'll come back to it some day, I swear.

December 19, 2022I like these easy to digest books, however it may be, and without seeming pretentious, a bit too redundant.
I like the integrative or CAM medicine point of view
Here’s the info I think a lot of people don’t know about:
Walk barefoot
Sleep outside
Naps depend on the person
Naps max 30 minutes (2-4 pm)
Coffee before nap
Eat mostly at 10-2
12–16 hrs from day one meal to day 2
Green tea instead of coffee
Fisher Wallace stimulator?
Magnesium as a supplement
Aromatherapy is helpful
Sleep “divorce” for couples is ok
Don’t go to bed angry
Sleep = better grades

I enjoyed reading this book a lot! It's full of useful information on the science of sleep - why we do it, and what we're doing wrong - and has a ton of advice adaptable for almost every situation so that its readers can improve their sleep habits. I learned a lot by reading this! Definitely would recommend as a gift for a friend interested in science or how things work - or for your friend running every day on 5 hours of sleep and not understanding why they're feeling like crap all the time!

Do you have trouble sleeping? This book breaks down multiple reasons why you could have this problem and then gives you multiple different answers and ways on which you can approach on how to fix this. As someone who snores all the time and feels so bad being a hindrance to my partner I was relieved to see a couple tips to try that wouldn’t cost me a fortune. This is so necessary for everyone to read in life. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I kind of feel like all sleep books have the same basic information in them and author’s are just kind of repeating it in new ways, if that makes sense? With that said, this was an interesting and informative book about sleep, but it didn’t really present any new information that I haven’t previously read. If you are new to reading in the area of sleep self help, then definitely give this one a read.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for sending me an ARC of this book.

Most people know the general things you shouldn’t do to enhance your sleep and yet I felt that this book went one step further with tidbits and knowledge than I have read before. It’s a quick and easy read and they don’t expect you to turn into a monk they jokingly say, just give recommendations and understand that we have lives, jobs and social activities that we all need to have (they mention covid a bunch of times too). Found this informative and fast paced.

This is a very comprehensive guide to getting and maintaining a healthy amount of sleep. The authors explain the components necessary to attain this level of sleep, and include a three week reset to jump-start the process. Sleep at different life stages are also explained, to help individualize the program.

4.25/5 I've struggled with my sleep for a while now and I'm always looking for ways to help me break my habit or change my routine and supplement them with a better approach. I found this to be a very helpful guide with easy-to-follow recommendations and a 21-day plan.

First book I read on the subject. It started my journey to understanding my insomnia (knowledge is power). Reading Diane Macedo's Sleep Fix book after this one strengthened my knowledge even more and provided break through action steps.
