The sleep revolution

The sleep revolution: transforming your life one night at a time / Arianna Huffington 392 pgs.

Arianna Huffington was a regular at the sleep deprivation scene.  She decided to change her ways after passing out from exhaustion, hitting her head on her desk and breaking her cheekbone.  It was a wake up call that she was awake too much.  Since then, she has devoted time to getting proper rest and educating others about what she calls a sleep crisis.  Too many people are shorting themselves at night in the hopes that they can accomplish more.  Huffington points out that we are much more efficient when rested and thus more productive.  This book covers a multitude of reasons to make sleep a priority and suggestions on how to sleep better.

There are probably better books to read to help you past a bout of insomnia but this book gives a great overall picture of how important it is to your health to sleep well.
