Publisher's summary

When it comes to health, there is one criminally overlooked element: sleep. Good sleep helps you shed fat for good, stave off disease, stay productive, and improve virtually every function of your mind and body. That's what Shawn Stevenson learned when a degenerative bone disease crushed his dream of becoming a professional athlete. Like many of us, he gave up on his health and his body...until he decided there must be a better way. Through better sleep and optimized nutrition, Stevenson not only healed his body but also achieved fitness and business goals he never thought possible.

In Sleep Smarter, Stevenson shares easy tips and tricks to discover the best sleep and best health of your life. With his 14-Day Sleep Makeover, you'll learn how to create the ideal sleep sanctuary, how to hack sunlight to regulate your circadian rhythms, which clinically proven sleep nutrients and supplements you need, and stress-reduction exercises and fitness tips to keep you mentally and physically sharp.

Sleep Smarter is the ultimate guide to sleeping better, feeling refreshed, and achieving a healthier, happier life.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

I'm a personal trainer trying to help clients

I don't struggle much with sleep but I'm looking for ways to help my clients sleep more. I agree so much with Shawn's perspective I will be recommending this book I'm sure because I won't have time to retell it all and there was a lot of helpful information and practical tips! I knew a lot about sleep before this but still got good ideas and it was entertaining as well. Listened to it in about a week on my commute.

SO MUCH VALUE ITS INSANE

I've read a lot of books on health, and the understanding and technicalities of sleep have never been covered SO in depth as they have been in this book. Not only that, but every single tactic in this book will (and for me already has) DRAMATICALLY increased the quality of my sleep, thus the quality of my energy, recovery, and life.

If you follow the tactics in this book, you will have the best sleep you've ever had in your life in the modern times surrounded by tech and mediocrity. Don't let your life OR your sleep mediocre. Make it amazing.

life changing

if your overall "everything" in a demanding life feels upside down... then one must start here! obesity depression type 2 diabetes and agitation and other food disorders are all very much interconnected to our internal "down time!" every chapter and strategy in this book is a gem of know-how! thanks Shawn for putting this out to the public domain ...

wouldn't expect any less

I'm a huge fan of Shawn Stevenson's podcast The Model Health Show and this was on point. I will listen to this a couple times to soak all the information in

Excellent info

As an insomniac for my entire life (yes, really), I found this book chocked full of wonderful bits of information: some reminders, many reinforcing what I'm currently doing, and more good advice.

I did have problems opening the file that came with the audible book. I get an error message. I would very much love to have the nuggets of information found on it.

Finally a research based book with tips

Awesome. I love this book and how everything he says is backed up by research. Compared to the 4 hour body which is a dud this book is actually researched and 100x better. I have a few pages of notes and a new daily schedule. Some things I'd read before but not many. there are 21 great ways to sleep better. I have no problems sleeping but his wellness and health tips all tie back to how to sleep. I got alot out of this book and a heap of things to try out. Cheers mate. well researched, well written and we'll spoken.
