Sleep Coaching Easy Sleep Without Meds

Most of the psychiatric disorders like Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Bipolar Disorder and Posttraumatic Disorder comes with sleep disturbance. Some of them are easily treatable and some not so. Many times, it is easier to treat the core psychiatric problems as compared to the sleep issues. As the name suggests, this book is about sleep coaching. A coach is someone one who instructs and trains. The primary focus of this book is to coach easy ways to promote sleep. People may wonder and question, since so much information is freely available on the internet, why another book? Although sleep problems have inflicted civilized people for hundreds of years, research on sleep medicine is relatively new. There is yet to be a sleep medication to be discovered, which can be taken for a long term without adverse effects. Research shows that taking the conventional sleeping pills, in the long run, poses serious health hazards. Don't get me wrong. Sleeping pills can be lifesaving when used prudently, but their long-term safety is questionable. As every physician has to take the Hippocratic oath and abide by the "primum-non-nocere" (first do no harm) doctrine; I began my search for SAFE sleep solutions. Since sleep science is new, many physicians are not yet aware of the dangers of sleep deprivations. Physicians themselves are one of the most sleep-deprived members of the society. Thus in-spite of having many solutions available for sleep-related problems, many patients are struggling with their sleep and are forced to take sleeping pills, which is not healthy in the long term. This has prompted many physicians like me to seek safer sleep solutions for our patients. If you are among the millions of Americans who struggle with sleep each night and are tired because of lack of sleep - this book is for you. If you want to improve sleep to maximize your productivity, creativity, and the efficiency-this book is for you. Also, if you are someone who has to travel across multiple time zones; or if you are a shift worker with irregular work hours- then this book will guide you to get better sleep. The book will also coach you to harness the power of sleep to get more energy, lose extra weight, look younger feel happier, and fight better against diseases. Lastly, this book can help internists, psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, nurse practitioners, social workers- anyone and everyone who is there to help people with sleep sufferings. Clinicians will find many useful practical tools to coach their clients and solve sleep problems.
