bestselling author of Why We Sleep
From renowned sleep scientist Dr. Aric Prather, a book that offers a

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.
The seven-day prescription will lead you through these exercises:
Day 1: Set Your (Internal) Clock
Day 2: Ease Off the Gas
Day 3: Energize--But Do It Right
Day 4: Worry Early
Day 5: You Are Not a Computer; You Can't Just Shut Down
Day 6: (Re)Train Your Brain
Day 7: Stay Up Late
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.
