Preface
Routinely sleeping less than six or seven hours a night demolishes your immune system, more than doubling your risk of cancer. Insufficient sleep is a key lifestyle factor determining whether or not you will develop Alzheimer’s disease. …short sleeping increases the likelihood of your coronary arteries becoming blocked and brittle, setting you on the path towards cardiovascular disease, stroke and congestive heart failure.”
Walker (2017, Page 3)

The mental anguish of being sleepless for long periods of time, when we want to sleep, has to be felt to be believed. It is a truly horrible condition.
People who get insufficient sleep, or inadequate sleep, also experience physical and mental health problems that are avoided when the body is well rested. Apparently. If you have insufficient sleep, you are more likely to become addicted to a substance, or to experience anxiety, and “Four times more likely to become depressed,” according to Holford (2008, page 203[1]).
Sleep is crucially important for us to function effectively. Traditional western medicine, before the dawn of big Pharmaceutical monopolies, frequently recommended bed-rest as the cure for many common illnesses.
But what if you now have difficulty sleeping at night? What can you do?
The goal of this book is to give you very precise, clear information about what you can do to improve your sleep quickly and safely, if you are suffering from insomnia. Powerful evidence is presented to convince you of the effectiveness of the various sleep solutions reviewed in this book.

If you have already tried sleeping tablets, you will know they do not solve the problem of insomnia. And alcohol is equally counterproductive.
Some of the negative side-effects of taking steeling pills were explored by Arianna Huffington, including this: “After taking Ambien (a commonly prescribed sleeping pill) you may get out of bed while not being fully awake and do an activity that you do not know you are doing. The next morning you may not remember that you did anything during the night.” (Huffington, 2017, Page 53).
People have left their houses at night (whilst asleep), got into their cars, and had very serious, even fatal, accidents; ending up in police custody. One lady woke up and found herself in a prison cell, in her pajamas!
This book is brief and to the point – being less than one hundred pages in length. If you read it selectively, you can probably get all the information and remedies you need from less than fifty of those information-packed pages.
It is written in accessible language and a popular style.
And I have summarized the solutions to the problem of insomnia into just four pages. (See Chapter 5, below).
If you have any problem getting a good night’s sleep, then this book will help you to resolve your problem of sleep disruption, or sleep insufficiency.
As a result…
– You will feel better (physically and mentally);
– You will look well-rested, both bodily and facially. (It is a proven fact that well-rested faces look more attractive!);
– And you will be able to maintain your weight – (because your appetite will be normal, instead of exaggerated and distorted by insufficient sleep).
– You will also be more emotionally intelligent, at home and in work;
– And more effective and in control of your life.
– You will feel “on top of the world”.
And since it is now widely believed that there is a link between insufficient or inadequate sleep, on the one hand, and Alzheimer’s disease, on the other, you will also be protecting your brain from dementia.
The Introduction, below, will give you some more information about the benefits of the system of sleep management that I teach in this book.
The insomnia cures in this book are natural and cost–free.
I hope you find this book interesting and helpful for you.
