Lack of sleep is not just a matter of feeling tired. Recent
research has shown that it is associated with serious illnesses
such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and even
cancer. The big question is, what can we do to get more sleep? Who
can we turn to, for a sympathetic and knowledgeable one-to-one
consultation? The answer is, to one of the world's leading sleep
experts: Professor Chris Idzikowski, who here reveals his wisdom in
a down-to-earth and reassuring way. The Introduction answers four
basic questions: What is sleep? What is dreaming? What is
tiredness? What is fatigue? Chapter One takes a fascinating look at
the history of sleep, showing how social and environmental factors
have affected human experience. Chapter Two tells us what science
has made of sleep, in a friendly, easy-to-follow style. Chapter
Three gives extensive advice on how to manage your sleep, whatever
your particular circumstances or needs, with specific advice for
workers, parents, drivers and flyers, as well as for dreamers and
problem-solvers; also covered is our changing requirements as we
age. Chapter Four gives the same number of pages to sleep problems,
including insomnia, breathing disorders, circadian clock disorders,
nightmares and movement disorders. Finally, Chapter Five is a
collection of concise practical tips and guidelines, including a
directory of sleeping pills and potions, from pharmaceutical
stand-bys to home-brewed herbal teas.
