Synopsis

The book states that a third of the population sleep badly and sets out a five-week plan intended to help readers avoid being among them. Dr Guy outlines an approach that can be applied to anything from a few restless nights to long-term insomnia, using mindfulness alongside newer ACT therapy techniques.

It argues that many people spend significant time, effort and money trying to fix sleep, but that progress can depend on learning what not to do, particularly when frustration makes sleep feel more distant. The methods described are presented as having been developed through work at The Sleep School clinic and shaped by extensive one-to-one clinics, workshops and retreat environments.
