I listen to the audiobook, and the author encourages me to fall as sleep while listening. So I did. This audiobook helped me fall asleep easily for over a year (I can only listen to a maximum of 5 minutes before i'm "zzz") - which is so great!
That is not to say this book is boring or anything. It's a good & informative book. I feel like this book has EVERYTHING TO KNOW about sleep (much more than what I need to know).
Key takeaway from the book: SLEEP IS VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT. Please sleep tight every night. It improves your quality of life in every possible way. (For more interesting details, please see each chapter).

Terrifying at times, and I skipped a few of the more unpleasant sections. However, I really enjoyed this and I feel as though I will put sleep as a priority from here on out. I liked that I did the audiobook version because this isn't exactly a book that I would just pick up, but I could force myself to listen to it in the car. It has a lot of great information and I would recommend it to anyone
Good read, very insightful. Although the [i]Guinness book of records[/i] is mentioned too many times.
I liked how easy it was to follow along with the structure of this book, while still being filled with a bunch of research studies and facts. Enjoyable to listen to! :)
Incredibly informative book and it is a big reason I take sleep as seriously as I do now because it is quite literally life or death. The facts and research in this book is incredible and written in a way that that makes sense but almost as if including you in the research process as well.
I’m knocking off two stars because dear god while factually it’s an amazing book it ironically put me to sleep a couple times reading it so kudos. I had to actively drag myself through it and the only way I could finish it was at 1.5x speed audiobook on Spotify. Hey this could just be me as an individual whose attention span is shot after years of short form content or it is a somewhat dry book, who’s to say.

I think everyone should read this book which highlights the importance of sleep to our health and well-being and gives some great tips for ensuring a good nights sleep.

Too dry. Reads like a textbook. Putting me to sleep which is maybe sneakily the point?
