Book excerpt: PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS FOR QUALITY SLEEP 'In her brilliant new book Mikhail delivers accessible science to help you take back control of your bedtime and your sleep' Psychologies Are you suffering from chronic insomnia, an erratic sleep pattern or do you simply feel that your sleep isn't as deep and restorative as it should be? Then struggle no more. Teach Yourself to Sleep is the sustainable solution that you have been waiting for. After decades of trying traditional methods to cure her poor sleep, the chance reading of a book by her Irish great-great uncle, a pioneer in cognitive therapy and clinical hypnosis, led chronic insomniac Kate Mikhail to research the science of sleep and the mind-body loop, and develop the tried-and-tested methods that finally enabled her to take control of her sleep and wake up feeling rested and energised. In Teach Yourself to Sleep, integrative psychotherapist Kate shares her approach, blending first-person experience with accessible sleep science - including interviews with leading doctors, scientists and academics, as well as highly effective sleep 'scripts' provided exclusively for this book by other sleep experts. Teach Yourself to Sleep will help you to view your sleep in a wider, deeper context, by revealing that its quality is inseparably woven into the way you spend your day - not an add-on that comes out of nowhere as night descends. Considering sleep from every angle - from how to fix your natural sleep-wake cycle, what and how to eat for the best sleep possible, how to shift stress hormones in favour of sleep, and how to break the sleepless-menopause loop - this book will help you to understand your sleep better and give you the tools to take control and finally begin to get the quality sleep you need.
