What does it mean to get a good night's sleep
It's not just about quantity. It's about getting the right type and quality of sleep. To sleep deeply we need to live deeply. This means that we need to reconnect with ourselves and our inner stillness. It's not surprising that in the Western world practices such as yoga and mindfulness have become popular as more people seek inner peace and grounding to counterbalance the frenetic pace of life. The kind of sleep where we wake up feeling refreshed, filled with vitality and looking forward to the day ahead will not only heal us but also heal those around us. Sleep expert Dr Nerina Ramlakhan explains why a good night's sleep is essential in today's demanding, 24/7, technology-driven world, introduces us to the science of sleep and teaches us that the secret of good sleep is to get out of our heads and back into our bodies. Featuring beautiful illustrations and simple exercises, this is the perfect little book to help you:- Wake up with energy and vitality- Fully engage in your relationships with courage and open-heartedness- Strengthen your immune system- Feel creative and focused- Live life with meaning, passion and inspirationDr Nerina Ramlakhan has been a professional physiologist and sleep therapist for 25 years.
