Table of Contents Prelude Getting Started Chapter # 1: Optimal Sleep Chapter # 2: Why is Sleep Important? Chapter # 3: Purpose of Sleep Sleep Hacking Chapter # 1: What is it? Chapter # 2: Ways to Optimize Sleep Chapter # 3: Tips to Remember Conclusion Author Bio References Publisher Prelude Sleep is probably the most underrated entity in the fast paced environment of the 21st century. More and more people are trying to increase their working hours as their work load increases, while keeping their leisure time unchanged; this can only come from shortening their sleeping time. Even though at first this might sound like a win-win situation, it’s actually not. The sleep quality and quantity are linearly dependent on each other, so one can’t stay up while the other’s down. Sleep hygiene is a term which can effectively describe the quality of one’s sleep. It is basically a combination of different practices which must be topped up in order to get a normal sleep during night time and a proper level of awareness during the day. It is an important component of one’s health and experts believe that it’s not something to be left to the mind; one should actively participate in building time for his/her sleep which requires conscious discipline. Sleep hygiene is not only responsible for correcting a person’s cognitive abilities but can also improve a person’s physical functions. It is one of the first steps when it comes to treating people with sleeping disorders like disruptions and apnea. As you read the book, you will find that improving a person’s sleep can effectively protect him against asthma, thyroid disease, and heart failure. In short, one can dramatically improve his/her lifestyle by giving proper attention to his sleep. This book will tell you the impact of proper sleep on the body and how a person can improve the standard of his/her sleep.
