Summary

As people work harder, play harder, and try to jam ever more into their stressful lives, something's got to give. All too often that something is sleep. More than half of Americans have had one or more symptoms of insomnia at least a few nights a week during the past year. In fact, three in ten individuals suffer from insomnia every night or almost every night. That means they either can't fall asleep, can't stay asleep, or wake up feeling unrefreshed. In just seven days, this comprehensive book shows readers how to achieve a blissful drug-free night's rest. This book also outlines: -How colors, ventilation, scents, and linens affect sleep -Natural sleep aides -The sleep diet plan-what to eat and what to avoid -Exercises for sleep -Sleeping with someone-from a spouse to the dog-and how to cope.
