Fast Asleep
Author(s): Dr Michael Mosley
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The FastDiet and “one of the world’s leading journalists covering nutrition and health” (Dr. Valter Longo, director of the University of Southern California Longevity Institute) presents a “well written, well researched, and very practical” (Dr. Tim Spector, professor at Kings College, London) science-based sleep program designed to improve brain function, support weight loss, boost your mood, and reduce stress.
Getting a good night’s sleep is everyone’s daily goal. After all, it reduces your risk of depression, helps you fight chronic disease, improves your memory, and it just plain feels good. But why is it that so many of us struggle to get the necessary seven to eight hours a night?
In Fast Asleep, Dr. Michael Mosley brings together the latest, groundbreaking science to explain exactly why it is so important that we regularly get enough sleep. Prone to insomnia, he has taken part in numerous sleep experiments and tested every sleep remedy. Combining personal insight and in-depth research, he explains why so many of us struggle with sleep, what works and what doesn’t, and shares his own myth-busting program to help you achieve a good night’s rest.
Filled with fascinating case studies, fifty delicious, sleep-promoting recipes, and more, Fast Asleep is a complete resource that offers a range of tools for combating fatigue and tiredness. Simple, effective, and life-changing, this book explores the science of dreaming, explains why gut health and meal times matter, and reveals tips and tricks to help you not just to sleep better, but to reduce stress levels and feel happier and healthier in general.
Review(s):
“A brilliantly informative book showing you how to boost your sleep and cure insomnia.”
“Mosley’s first-hand experience of insomnia, and his search for answers, makes this book a real page turner. It will change many lives.”
“I read this eagerly because I am desperate for tips on how to sleep better. It is based around the revolutionary idea that when it comes to sleep what matters is not the hours you spend in bed but the quality of the sleep you are getting—your sleep efficiency. This book was full of surprises!”
“A fascinating and accessible book with some truly surprising findings. If you or someone you know struggles with poor sleep, this book is a must.”
“This book is well written, well researched and very practical. It’s a down to earth guide to sleeping better written by a famous former insomniac. It covers the latest science and offers fascinating insights and many original tips.”
“I would highly recommend Fast Asleep as it is engaging, humorous, and a very relaxing read with practical advice on understanding every aspect of sleep and our friendly gut bacteria. Also full of very useful tips for parents.”
“What a great book! The subject is fascinating and Dr. Michael Mosley has produced a clear and very entertaining guide to the dark mysteries of sleep and how to sleep your way to better health.”
