For every woman who “does it all” . . . except get a good night’s sleep! More than 60 percent of American women have trouble sleeping— which isn’t surprising, as they have a higher risk of developing sleeping problems. But addressing this issue is more nuanced for women than for men; pregnancy and menopause are just two factors that add complexity to an already difficult problem. At the risk of jeopardizing work, parenting, relationships, or overall health, no woman can afford to deal with sleep deprivation on her own. The Women’s Guide to Overcoming Insomnia is a roadmap for those who experience anything from occasional bad nights to chronic insomnia. It outlines several methods to overcome these issues and improve physical and emotional well- being. From medical sleep aids to nonmedical approaches, the book looks beyond the basics of sleep hygiene, helping women to retrain their bodies and minds for a good night’s sleep every night.

"Juggling family, work, and social lives can cause insomnia in women. Add to that the effects of pregnancy or menopause, a partner who snores, or a condition such as arthritis or depression, and you have a potent recipe for sleep disorders that are more likely to affect women--often more severely-- than men. Worse, many women's sleep disorders are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed because their symptoms differ from men's, or their doctor is unaware of how unique female biology affects sleep. Can't Sleep, Can't Stay Awake will help the reader understand why and provide answers to their sleep problems. Written in a clear, easy-to-read style, and packed with useful case studies, this comprehensive guide covers: What healthy sleep is and how much we should be getting every night ; Sleep problems unique to women ; How family, psychological conditions, and the 24/7 world can cause sleep problems ; How to combat specific disorders such as sleep apnea and insomnia that may be causing your symptoms"--Publisher's description.

The average adult will spend more than 200,000 hours sleeping in a lifetime, the equivalent of more than 8,000 days. Yet research has only just begun to decode the mysteries behind what really happens when we sleep. Now Dr. Carlos Schenck, one of the most prominent sleep doctors and researchers in the country, takes us on an extraordinary journey into the mechanisms of sleep and what can go wrong. Dr. Schenck explains and then offers solutions for the most common sleep disorders -insomnia, restless legs syndrome, sleep apnea, and more. But what sets this book apart is the fascinating new insights Schenck offers from the cutting-edge science that he and other researchers have pioneered in identifying, understanding, and explaining the realm of "parasomnias" - mysterious, more extreme sleep disorders such as sleep terrors, sleepwalking, dream-enactment, sleep violence, sleep-related eating disorder, sexsomnia, sleep paralysis, which affect at least 10 percent of Americans.
