As someone who has suffered on and off with insomnia and poor sleep quality for the past 20 years, I really appreciate this book.  Often, when you go through times of not being able to sleep, you feel powerless and that there is nothing you can do to change your sleep pattern other than to take sleeping pills.  This book gave me the power back by explaining how my brain can be trained for sleep and how certain daily habits (that I never associated with sleep) may be impacting my insomnia.  It goes over the insomnia epidemic, explains the importance of sleep not just to feeling better and having more energy during the day, but to overall health and longevity, and the outlines practical ways to improve sleep patterns.  It also goes into detail, in layman’s terms, about the science of sleep, what sleep is, the sleep cycle and how sleep affects the rest of our body and our mind.A valuable, practical guide to improving sleep, with tips from changing bedroom habits to times for sleep to how eating impacts sleep and an exploration of sleep cures like Melatonin and vitamin supplements.  If you've ever suffered from prolonged periods of sleep disruption, you can use this book!
