Overview
More and more, we are hearing about the benefits of sleep. We're told that regular, good quality sleep habits play a key role in protecting us against acute and chronic diseases, stabilising our mental and emotional health, regulating our weight, enhancing our productivity and creativity and even making us more attractive! Yet the statistics are startling: almost three quarters of Australian adults are struggling with chronic sleep deprivation - and with it, a host of problems that are making their lives less than optimal. Author Tim Simon was among them until a time of crisis brought home the importance of sleeping well as the foundation to a well-rounded, healthy life. In Sleep and Grow Healthy, Tim draws on the expertise of numerous health professionals and his own industry experience to show how sleep can be used to create a positive spiral of emotional, mental and physical health. Part 1 looks at what lies behind the modern sleep debt crisis, what 'good sleep' really means and why it's the key to a healthy life. Part 2 teases out the chicken-and-egg relationships between sleep and the central elements of life - thinking, working, moving, eating and loving - and reveals how to use sleep to get these areas functioning well. Part 3 examines the environmental and personal supports and systems that can make great sleep a reality.
