Publisher's Summary

Although there are many books on sleep, this book was created to provide 80 unique, new, thought-provoking expert perspectives (I’m not counting myself as an expert, merely the interviewer of the 80 folks listed herein) all in one place. 

Another important reason for this book? To help people like you who have sleep problems. 

Remember when you were younger and you slept like a baby? You could sleep almost anywhere. You laid your head down, closed your eyes, and the next thing you knew, it was time to wake up. You woke up and felt energized, ready for the day ahead. It may have been years since you slept well, but nearly everyone I’ve known has at least one memory of a great night’s sleep. 

Now that you’re older, perhaps most nights you sleep well; perhaps, like most, most nights you don't sleep well, and if you’re lucky, one night a week you sleep better than the others–but it’s not enough to say that you’re sleeping well consistently. From my personal experience in improving my sleep, creating a line of custom-tailored head, huggable and knee-to-ankle pillows, and interviewing well over 124 scientists and sleep entrepreneurs, I’ve learned that there is no one thing you can do to improve your sleep 100 percent. The reality and the truth of sleeping well? Each tweak to how you sleep and your sleeping conditions will improve your sleep by a few percentage points. The key to sleeping optimally is incorporating multiple ways to improve your sleep. Various improvements–5 percent here, 2 percent there–can add up to a 50 percent improvement, even an 80 percent improvement in your sleep. 

Everyone has seven nights a week to get good sleep or poor sleep. Imagine how your life will improve when you can go from one good night of sleep a week to three, five, or even six good nights a week.
