Hello Sleep

In my work as a sleep psychologist, I see so many people who have tried following all of the rules and recommendations, yet they only get more stuck and more frustrated with their sleep. Hello Sleep gets at a fundamental truth about insomnia that is often overlooked--overcoming insomnia is not about trying harder, but rather repairing your relationship with sleep. This book provides concrete, science-based advice, and Dr. Wu writes with insight, compassion, and humor that will help readers regain a sense of wonder and appreciation toward their sleep. --Jennifer Mundt, PhD, DBSM, Director of Behavioral Sleep Medicine at Northwestern Medicine, Assistant Professor of Neurology (Sleep Medicine) Insomnia is everywhere, and its ubiquity is matched only by those claiming to be sleep experts or possess the solution to your sleepless nights. But insomnia is not a problem to be solved or a system to be hacked. Sleep is a relationship that needs to be understood and nurtured, and Dr. Jade Wu's book, Hello Sleep, does an exceptional job of making the necessary introductions. The book is an easy to read but factually dense guide that will take its readers from the darkness of insomnia to a new-found confidence in their own sleep. Insomnia can be fixed, and the steps are here in the pages that follow. --W. Chris Winter, MD, author of The Sleep Solution and The Rested Child If you are tired of trying to solve the riddle of insomnia, this book will be your new best friend. Dr. Wu reveals how changing your relationship with sleep can be more important than following a list of do's and don'ts. The result is a book full of answers to those burning sleep questions along with a practical plan that will rekindle your love for sleep. --Jason C.
