| Summary: | If there's one thing a century or more of sleep science has established, it's that sleep deserves to be a priority. It's not. We hear much about the importance of exercise to our long-term well-being, and how diet and health are inextricably linked. Sleep, however, is typically an afterthought. Complicating the matter, people commonly mistake how much sleep they get for how much they need. As many as 70 million U.S. adults are being deprived of the restful sleep their bodies require for good health and optimal performance. Either they aren't getting enough sleep each night or their sleep is disruptive and of poor quality. It's a momentous problem, labeled as a "public health epidemic" by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Sleep deprivation can have a negative effect on practically every system and organ in our bodies, paving the way for innumerable health problems. In this book, Mayo Clinic sleep specialists discuss why so many people today are struggling to get the sleep they desperately need. They also review several sleep disorders, including the most common culprits to a good night's sleep, insomnia and sleep apnea. The most important message in the book, however, is that with the right approach, most sleep problems can be successfully treated, and prevented. This book is packed with guidance and helpful tips on effectively treating common sleep disorders, as well as basic strategies to improve sleep quality. It also includes personal stories from individuals who have successfully learned to manage their sleep problems, and are again enjoying a good night's rest. |
