Summary:
"'
Hello
Sleep
' is a practical and compassionate guide to having a better relationship with
sleep
and
overcoming
insomnia
from Jade Wu, an experienced expert in behavioral
sleep
medicine. For many people who have trouble sleeping, each night is an anxious odyssey where getting a good night's
sleep
feels like a battle to win rather than a basic biologic process.
Hello
Sleep
is a guide for people with
insomnia
to help them shift their relationship with
sleep
, so that it stops being a battle and starts being enjoyable and natural again. It is a practical, self-guided tour through evidence-based interventions for chronic
insomnia
, including cognitive behavioral therapy for
insomnia
(CBT-I), phototherapy, chronotherapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and medication tapering. Jade Wu is a behavioral
sleep
medicine specialist and researcher who has helped hundreds of patients over a period of ten years. She provides in-depth but down-to-earth scientific explanations of how
sleep
and
insomnia
work; anecdotes about real patients' experiences with
overcoming
insomnia
; rationale for why the evidence-based interventions help; and tips for how to problem-solve common pitfalls, along with tailored recommendations for special circumstances (e.g., pregnancy/postpartum, menopause, chronic pain, depression, older adults etc.). Wu's practical recommendations support a philosophical theme:
Sleep
is a friend, and it's the nurturing of our relationship with this friend-rather than an anxious nightly battle-that will give us sustainable
sleep
health.
Hello
Sleep
is not a rigid set of rules or a one-size-fits-all approach. Wu believes this can make things worse for those with
insomnia
issues, making what was once easy and intuitive into something effortful and elusive. Instead, this book treats insomniacs with respect, by giving them knowledge and empowering them to trust themselves and their own
sleep
."--From publisher.
