Sleep - It Does a Family Good

The book is divided into three parts.
In the first one, named “Understanding your family’s need for sleep”, the author shows some impressive numbers, like 3 out of 4 people in the USA having some sleeping problem. He also mentions when talking about animals in general, that for some species, food and sleep are equally vital for survival.
The second part of the book is named “Determining your family’s sleep problem”.
Here Dr. Hart teaches how to evaluate sleep habits and how to analyze sleep disorders like apnea, RLS or sleepwalking.
The third part is “Overcoming your family’s sleep deprivation”, where the author teaches how to help our children to sleep better, talks about marriage and sleeping patterns and how to manage what he calls a “sleep bank.”
Overall the book is a “wake up call” (sorry for that, Dr. Hart!), showing how important a good night’s sleep is for our sanity in general and our spirituality.
After reading this book, you will never again think that sleeping is a waste of time!
The publicists were kind enough to send us a copy of this work for an uncompromised review through their Tyndale Blog Network Program.
This book is suitable for adults, teenagers, and mature kids.
Between the wife and I, it’s me that’s always displaying the ‘irregular sleep patterns.’
She constantly tells me that by a certain time before bed time, we should disengage from electrical devices such as the iPad, PC or TV.Our brain needs a time-out.
I learnt my lesson the hard way, and eventually it caught up to me.I now will take the advice of good sleep patterns very seriously.
I am so glad to have come across a review of thIs book on ‘sleep.’ on your website. It’s something that I definitely will spend my money on as I would like to learn more of.
Who knows, after reading it I would be able to tell my wife a thing or two, that she did not know about sleep?LOL
Thanks for this
