    About this ebook

    Conventional sleep tips were not enough to help me sleep. A heavy tranquilizer nearly destroyed my life. But I was shocked when a unique combination of foods and nutrients cured my insomnia. I've slept well for almost ten years now because of them. Do you want natural, concrete, research-based recommendations to get the right stuff into your body for a good night's sleep? That's what I'll give you, in as few words as possible.

      About the Author

      1 WHAT IT’S ABOUT

      Idon’t know where you are on the I can’t sleep continuum. Your sleep may be mediocre, or it may be almost nonexistent. Maybe life stressors and aging have taken a toll on your sleep. Or you got insomnia abruptly and can’t seem to get back on track. However poor your sleep is, I know your suffering (more on that in the next chapter).  

      I wrote this book because I have something special to offer you. Conventional sleep tips were not enough to help me sleep. A heavy tranquilizer nearly destroyed my life. But I was shocked when a unique combination of foods and nutrients cured my insomnia. I’ve slept well for almost ten years now because of them. I am going to share them with you.

      I’ve done rigorous research for this book, but I’ll present it to you in as few words as possible. After all, you’re eager to get back to sleep at night. And you want to get started with simple, concrete actions.

      Beginning in Chapter 7, that’s what I’ll give you. Until then, I’m going to explain how I got there and why my recommendations make sense.

      2 I’M A FORMER INSOMNIAC

      My first job out of graduate school was...stressful. I hadn’t been a good sleeper during my graduate school years, then job stress took this problem to a new level. After a few weeks of unmanageable stress, I went five straight days without sleep (yes, I know that’s hard to believe). My local doctor wrote me a prescription for a large dose of Klonopin—a tranquilizer in a category of drugs called benzodiazepines. I
