Fast Asleep: Advanced Guide for Sleep Hygiene (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780971586949)

What if you could enter your bedroom and instantly feel your body and mind preparing for deep, restful sleep?

Imagine waking up each morning feeling refreshed and energized, even if you haven't slept for the mythical eight hours.

What if you could silence the worries that keep you tossing and turning and finally find peace at bedtime?

Drawing upon over 30 years of in-depth research on nightmares, insomnia, and sleep-disordered breathing (and his own personal journey overcoming insomnia!), Dr. Krakow offers a proven guide to achieving consistent and quality sleep.

His experience instructing crime victims and trauma survivors on advanced sleep hygiene principles underscores the effectiveness of his approach.

In this book, you will learn:

• Why focusing on sleep quality, not only the number of hours, is crucial for overcoming insomnia.
• Why your own bedroom might have become your worst enemy and the surprisingly simple solution to re-establish it as your sleep sanctuary.
• The crucial distinction between feeling tired and truly sleepy - understanding this difference is key to unlocking your natural ability to drift off effortlessly.
• The hidden ways commonplace habits like clock-watching are sabotaging your sleep and the straightforward strategy to break free from this anxiety-inducing cycle.
• Learn the real reasons to take control of your screen time and enhance your sleep quality. Hint: It's not what the media keeps peddling.
• Why getting out of bed when you can't sleep is the cornerstone of advanced sleep hygiene and how it retrains your mind.
• Why chasing more hours in bed could actually make your sleep worse.
• The reassuring truth about sleep loss and how to stop "losing sleep over losing sleep".
• Learn how a consistent morning routine can be a game-changer for some and living nightmare for others.
• What is "sleep pressure" and how can you strategically use it to increase your sleep efficiency and deepen your slumber.
• The potential link between subtle sleep breathing symptoms and chronic insomnia, and when it might be time to seek a specialist evaluation.
