Victoria Woodhall, Get the Gloss FOREWORD BY DR SOPHIE BOSTOCK
'29th June 0 HOURS, 0 MINUTES Eleven forty-seven pm. A door slams
as the neighbour's teenage son comes home from the pub. An hour
later, the last Tube rumbles past and I thump my pillow over to
find a cool spot. I refuse to open the window because of my fear of
hearing the first bird of morning, confirmation that the next day
is about to start and I have failed, yet again. Failed in my quest
to sleep, which one would think is a basic human right. But I am
not a POW whose captors breach the Geneva Convention. No one has
stolen my sleep from me. I am not wired up to electrodes, a neon
light is not shining in my face all night long. I have blackout
blinds and a king-size bed all to myself. My enemies are my brain
and a body that has forgotten how to shut down.' After a single,
catastrophic event, journalist Miranda Levy had one sleepless
night, then another, and then another. She sought help from anyone
she could: doctors, a therapist, an acupuncturist, a hypnotist, a
reiki practitioner and a personal trainer - but nothing seemed to
work. Sleep, wellbeing and mental health are intrinsically linked.
Yet sleeplessness is surprisingly common: 16 million of us suffer
from insomnia, and the sleep industry is worth GBP100 billion
(Daily Mail). In The Insomnia Diaries, Miranda Levy tells the story
of her experience of severe, disabling insomnia that affected every
aspect of her life for years, and how she ultimately recovered.
Part memoir, part reportage, this book will help anyone who
struggles to get a good night's sleep - whether occasionally or all
of the time - appreciate the issues and understand the options as
they find their best way to get the rest they need. Dr Sophie
Bostock, scientist, sleep expert and member of the team who
developed the award-winning digital programme Sleepio, contributes
a foreword. She and a host of expert contributors have advised on
the medical elements within the text throughout.
