Description
"Although we often take sleep for granted, each of us, at some point in our lives, has had difficulty sleeping. From young children having nightmares to seniors experiencing insomnia, sleep deprivation is a common problem across all ages. In this comprehensive book, Dr. Paul Caldwell helps readers understand what makes or breaks a good night's sleep, and offers clear advice on how to achieve better sleep. He discusses such topics as: why we can't get enough sleep-the effects of diet, exercise and sex; the effects of shift work, jet lag and seasonal affective disorder; what causes snoring and sleep apnea; sleep disorders in children and seniors; drugs and sleep-what interferes and what helps. Complete with informative case studies, diagrams and sidebars, SLEEP is your guide to understanding the sleep process for a healthier mind and body."--BOOK COVER
