introduction

DREAMING OF SLEEP Most of us spend one-third of our lives asleep, but not all of us sleep well. e amount of time we sleep and the quality of the sleep we get on a nightly basis can lead to tiredness and fatigue, the effects of which can filter into all aspects of daily life, affecting our emotions, our ability to focus on daily tasks, appetite, relationships and memory recall. Many people underestimate the importance of sleep and live with the daily symptoms of fatigue, masking them rather than getting to the root of the problem. us, sleep deprivation has become an issue that’s easily ignored, but if poor sleeping is le untreated it can have serious implications on diseases that can impact on your long-term health. Sleep is the natural state of rest in which your eyes are closed, your muscles are relaxed, your nervous system is 13

14 inactive and consciousness is practically suspended. is is a vital period of replenishment and repair for your body and a time when your brain is given the opportunity to process information, memories and experiences. Sleep is essential, and it is undoubtedly one of the key pillars of good health. While our commitment to eating well and exercising regularly is ultimately down to personal choice and conscious decision-making, sleep is influenced by factors that are sometimes out of our control. You can make yourself a healthy lunch, you can find the drive to get yourself to the gym for an early-morning workout, but lying in bed and trying to fall asleep may be a little more tricky. Many of us are victims of the 24-hour culture in which we live, as the modern-day demands and expectations of work and life in general, as well as the impact of social media, very much influence how we live our lives. is way of living can take its toll on our ability to sleep well and whilst you may think you are managing to survive on very little sleep, take it from me that you are not. Many of us have developed coping strategies to function on a daily basis (does that third cup of coffee before 11am sound familiar?) rather than taking a step back to address

the real problem, which is not being able to sleep. Aer years of struggling with insomnia, I became particularly interested in researching the different approaches to achieving the best possible sleep and one of the best pieces of advice I can give you is that one size never fits all. In this personal, practical guide, which references the latest scientific research and expert opinion, I will break down the art of sleeping into three main pillars: Behaviour, Environment and Diet, which can be given the acronym, BED. Once you understand what your daily lifestyle looks like, it’s possible to develop a sleep ritual that is personal to you. My personal battle with sleep is what drove me to write e Art of Sleeping ; however, I intend this book to be for everyone, whether you are similarly struggling with insomnia, looking for a better quality of sleep or are simply interested in the mechanics of sleeping well. I hope that by reading these pages you will be able to achieve the sleep of your dreams. 15
