Sleep - by Nick Littlehales (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Proven solutions for a better night's sleep, from the "sleep guru" to elite athletes--rest for success in work, sports, and life

One-third of our lives -- that's 3,000 hours a year--is spent trying to sleep. The time we spend in bed shapes our moods, motivation, alertness, decision-making skills, reaction time, creativity . . . in short, our ability to perform, whether at work, at home, or at play. But most of us have disturbed, restless nights, relying on over-stimulation from caffeine and sugar to drag us through the day. The old eight-hour rule just doesn't work, and it's time for a new approach.
