Synopsis

“Vastly knowledgeable and genuinely brilliant . . . An easy yet most effective how-to guide on sleep.” —Dr. Matthew Walker, New York Times bestselling author of Why We Sleep

From renowned sleep scientist Dr. Aric Prather, a book that offers a simple yet powerful plan to improve your sleep in seven days

We need sleep to survive. Sleep is as essential as food, water, and oxygen. So how can something that should be so instinctual and automatic be so hard? Dr. Prather runs one of the world’s most successful sleep clinics and has cracked the code to help even the most restless of sleepers get a good night’s rest.  
 
In The Sleep Prescription, Dr. Prather shares the powerful solutions that he uses to help his patients at the clinic achieve healing and restorative sleep. Going beyond the obvious solutions, Dr. Prather shares surprisingly simple yet deeply effective techniques that will help you lie back and let sleep work its magic. Over the course of seven days, this book will teach you how to get out of your own way, so that your body can do effortlessly what it was built to do: sleep well.

* This audiobook contains a downloadable bonus PDF that includes useful visual guides and a ready-to-use sleep diary to get you on track for consistent and restful sleep.

Quotes

Praise for Dr. Aric A. Prather and The Sleep Prescription
 
“The Sleep Prescription is designed to help you figure out exactly what’s troubling your sleep. Prather . . . takes us beyond anodyne tips like ‘turn off your phone’ and digs into the way our body responds to all of the various factors that make up our lives over the course of a given week. For each of seven days, the book guides you to focus on one aspect of building a good sleep routine, paying attention to how your mind works in concert with your body and the sleep habits you’ve built over your lifetime. . . . The Sleep Prescription is the first book that showed me it’s possible to understand the science behind it, and find a way to unlock those perfect, restful hours.”
