Hello Sleep: The Science and Art of Overcoming Insomnia Without Medications by Jade Wu

hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

I grew up with insomnia and used to have a huge amount of trouble falling asleep. I would dread going to sleep and it always felt like a battle. Eventually, I just stopped worrying about not being able to fall asleep and simply accepted that I was going to get the amount of sleep that I would get. I started to feel much better after sleeping but I always suspected I was still actually getting the same amount of sleep, and just was less stressed out. This book confirmed my experience and reassured me that what I unknowingly did was change my mentality in a way that is supported by CBT-I. This book also had a lot of useful tips that I am working on implementing to continue to improve my sleep health.
