The Power of Restorative Sleep

Sleep is complicated

It is more than just IF you sleep, but HOW you sleep

And...When you sleep

And...Where you sleep

And...Who you sleep with

And...Your mental health matters

And...Substance abuse matters

And...Chronic pain matters

And...Electronics at Night matters

And...Medications matter

And...When and what you drink or eat matters

And...The presence of insomnia or other sleep disorders matters

And...Not allowing yourself time to sleep matters

The above things can be "SLEEP STEALERS" and contribute to fragmented, light, non-restorative sleep, even if you do not have insomnia. Most of the sleep literature focuses on insomnia and its treatment. While this is extremely important (and will be covered in this book), identifying other disruptions of sleep quality, not just quantity, is also necessary.

In this book, Debra J. Stultz, MD, will share her insights into all the issues that may contribute to your disrupted sleep and unrefreshing nights. Dr. Stultz is an internationally known author and speaker on topics such as insomnia, treatment-resistant depression, narcolepsy, diagnosing sleep disorders, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for resistant depression.

In this her second book on sleep disorders, Dr. Stultz provides helpful tips to formalize a plan for restful nights and refreshed days She will help you learn to prioritize sleep, promote healthy sleep habits, and prepare for sleep in the "power hour" before bedtime
