Publisher's Summary

When it comes to getting a good night’s sleep, we’re getting it all wrong. Why? Because by focusing entirely on sleep itself, we’re missing the biggest factor that dictates whether or not we sleep well: how we spend our waking hours.

In this practical guide, sought-after sleep psychotherapist Heather Darwall-Smith explores the interplay between our daily activities and sleep, offering valuable insights that lead to meaningful change. With practical exercises, easy switches and expert guidance, you’ll learn:

-What our ‘always-on’ lives are doing to our nervous systems

-How taking time to rest and recover during the day can transform your sleep

-The impact that stress, technology nutrition and exercise have on our waking and sleeping hours

-How to create your own personalised day-to-night sleep plan.

When we cultivate a lifestyle that honours rest and relaxation, we pre-programme our bodies and minds for better sleep. With the tools and information contained in this groundbreaking approach, you’ll transform your view of and relationship with sleep, and wake up to a brighter, more energised tomorrow.
