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 very readable account of why sleep problems happen and a range of approaches to tackle them, including a step-by-step 4 week plan. The advice worked for me!
