Aus dem Klappentext

Unique Solutions for a Woman s Unique Sleep Problems

Women are probably the most sleep-deprived creatures on earth, says Dr. Joyce Walsleben, director of the Sleep Disorders Center at the NYU School of Medicine.

Fluctuating hormones whether from PMS, pregnancy, perimenopause, or menopause can wreak havoc on your sleep. If you re a new mom, you could lose seven hundred hours of sleep in your baby s first year! As you get older, your sleep schedule can slip off track. Depression and chronic pain can erode your sleep. What you eat or don t eat, if you re dieting can sabotage your nights, and then there s the pressure of juggling work, home, and parenting.

Women s unique sleep problems require unique solutions. The authors explain how to combat restless nights with the right sleep-promoting foods, supplements, herbs, exercise, stress reducers, and biorhythm adjustments, as well as with prescription, over-the-counter, and alternative treatments. You ll learn how to avoid the sleep robbers hidden in many common foods and medications. You ll also receive valuable tips on how to get a good night s sleep when a tossing and turning partner or wakeful child is the problem. A comprehensive resource section will guide you to support groups, websites, and sleep clinics. With this groundbreaking guide tailored to your unique needs, you won t ever have to drag yourself through another exhausted day again.
