Overview

PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS FOR QUALITY SLEEP 'In her brilliant new book Mikhail delivers accessible science to help you take back control of your bedtime and your sleep' Psychologies Are you suffering from chronic insomnia, an erratic sleep pattern or do you simply feel that your sleep isn't as deep and restorative as it should be? Then struggle no more. Teach Yourself to Sleep is the new, sustainable solution that you have been waiting for. After decades of trying traditional methods to cure her poor sleep, the chance reading of a book by her Irish great-great uncle, a pioneer in cognitive therapy and clinical hypnosis, led chronic insomniac Kate Mikhail to research the science of sleep and the mind-body loop, and develop the tried-and-tested methods that have finally enabled her to take control of her sleep and wake up feeling rested and energised. In Teach Yourself to Sleep, Kate shares her approach, blending first-person experience with accessible sleep science and interviews with leading doctors, scientists and academics, as well as highly effective sleep 'scripts' provided exclusively for this book by sleep experts. Teach Yourself to Sleep will help you to view sleep in a wider, deeper context by revealing that its quality is inseparably woven into the way you spend your day - not an add-on that comes out of nowhere as night descends. Considering sleep from every angle - from the role of biology-based self-talk in reinforcing better sleep habits, to fixing your sleep-wake cycle through the right balance of light and darkness, plus what and how to eat for the best sleep possible, how to dismantle unwanted sleep habits and set up new ones, shift stress hormones in favour of sleep, and how to break the sleepless-menopause loop - this book will help you to understand your sleep better and give you the tools to take control and finally begin to get the sleep you need.

Author Information

Kate Mikhail is a London-based freelance journalist and editor, who has written a wide range of features and reviews for the Guardian, Observer, Telegraph and Independent newspapers, as well as for many other publications. After decades of trying traditional methods to cure her poor sleep, the chance reading of a book by her Irish great-great uncle Richard Waters, a pioneer in cognitive therapy and clinical hypnosis and right-hand man to the eminent self-help guru Emile Coue, led chronic insomniac Kate Mikhail to research the science of sleep and the mind-body loop. From this Kate developed her tried-and-tested method that finally enabled her to take control of her sleep and wake up feeling rested and energised. Kate is now an ex-chronic insomniac, thanks to researching her first book, Teach Yourself to Sleep, in which she explores the biology and science of sleep and how to look at sleep from a different perspective to improve the quality of sleep, health and wellbeing.
