How to use neuroscience knowledge and mindfulness techniques for a good night's sleep. Everyone knows the consequences of lost sleep: you are sleepy and irritable, your focus is off, you are not performing at your best, and you are likely consuming sugar and caffeine for a quick energy boost. But the effects of poor sleep may be much more severe. Knowing the problem is one thing, fixing it is another. In this book, renowned neuroscientist Dr. Stan Rodski takes us through the basics of sleep quality - how sleep works, why we need sleep, and how much sleep we need - but, most importantly, he offers us exercises to overcome the difficulty of insomnia. In every endeavor, the key to success is proper preparation, and sleep is no different. Drawing from mindfulness, meditation and relaxation techniques, as well as the neuroscience that supports them, Dr. Stan provides you with the tools to prepare yourself (and your children) for a great night's sleep - and enjoy it!
