5-Star Rated Book “Sleep Great for Life” Now Available in Print

Every night millions of people throughout the U.S. and the world suffer with some type of sleep disorder. It may be difficulty falling asleep, waking up in the middle of night with the inability to resume sleeping, restless sleep in general, or a combination of these difficulties.

Sleep deprivation can spiral out of a control, lasting for months or years while wreaking havoc on a person’s overall well-being. It doesn’t have to be that way.

Author Rich Nilsen has written a new book, Sleep Great for Life, which offers 14 critical steps for proper sleep hygiene, before laying the foundation for the heart and soul of the book: the easy-to-apply Sleep Great method. The book had previously only been available in e-book formats but is now available in paperback for the first time.

“I suffered with debilitating insomnia and it was wrecking my life,” explained Nilsen. “It pains me to see anyone else suffering with a sleep disorder because I know how difficult it can be, how it can affect one’s personal and work life, and the depression it can cause. Insomnia is a vastly underrated health problem.”

Sleep surveys indicate that fifty-eight percent of adults in the U.S. experience symptoms of insomnia a few nights a week or more.  The impact of poor sleep results in numerous health and personal issues, including depression, increased blood pressure, irritability, difficulty concentrating, lack of sexual desire, just to name a few.

One of the goals of the Sleep Great method is to teach readers that they do not have to rely on sleeping pills to get a good night’s sleep on a regular basis.

“Despite what the pharmaceutical companies would have you believe, the truth is that you can’t buy a good night’s sleep,” explained Nilsen.“The Sleep Great method works extremely well, without the need of any drugs, and readers can begin to apply the concepts the first day they dive into the book.”

Nilsen empowers readers to take back their nights and sleep time by teaching them:

• To fix any of the missing 14 sleep hygiene steps in their life
• How to get off all prescription or over-the-counter sleep aids
• To spot stress factors that bring about insomnia
• To understand how to lay a proper sleep foundation for life
• How to properly attack their sleep issue and overcome it once and for all

“I read this book a while back, but wanted to give it a chance to see how well it really worked before reviewing. As a family man that has a full-time job and freelances from home nightly, good sleep has always been an issue. I would go to bed exhausted from the day, but so wired I couldn’t keep my eyes shut. These techniques to achieve a restful night’s sleep really delivered! The concepts and plans are presented clearly without a lot of unnecessary filler making it a quick read. Also, knowing that the author had gone through some of my same sleep issues made it easy to relate with. Great book for a great night’s sleep.” — Donald Shofner, Lexington KY

The Compounding Effect of Sleepless Nights

Sleep debt works just like financial debt. Before you realize it, you have a serious problem. You build up sleep debt throughout the week. There are numerous medical studies that prove prolonged lack of sleep can lead to many serious problems including heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, digestive problems, diabetes, sleep apnea, and even stroke.

“Our alertness level is even more impacted by several days of reduced sleep. If we miss 1-2 hours of sleep over 6-7 consecutive nights, our alertness level drops to dangerously low levels. As many as 15-20% of all transportation accidents are fatigue-related.”

This creates a destructive cycle that can be difficult to reverse.

Sleep Great for Life – Starting Today

Available in all e-book formats

Have you gotten to the point where you feel that no one or nothing can help with your insomnia, and that friends and family who do not have sleep disorders simply can’t relate to your problem?

In a 2007 study approximately 64 million Americans regularly suffer from insomnia each year, and there is little doubt that this massive number has grown in the past four years. Fifty-eight percent of adults in the U.S. experience symptoms of insomnia a few nights a week or more. This is a serious problem and you are not alone. The painful fact is the prescription and over-the-counter sleep aids are not a good long term solution, and in too many cases, not even a good short term solution.

Fortunately there is a break-through new book that can get you on the path to eliminating insomnia permanently from your life.

In the new book “Sleep Great for Life” just published this week, you will learn:
Proper Sleep Hygiene – Laying the Foundation for a Great Night’s Sleep (Chapter 4). Here you will learn 15 different factors that can negatively affect your night’s rest and prevent you from getting the sleep your body needs.

The Step-by-Step Solution for Great Sleep for Life (Chapter 8). This is the heart and soul of the book, where you will learn how to take a serious problem and turn it into a positive aspect of your life. Sleep will no longer be a thorn in your side. Instead, sleep will offer the restorative hours that your mind and body needs each day.

Inadequate sleep is a poorly understood and often underestimated serious medical problem. This book discusses unhealthy sleep patterns and identifies ways to correct them by applying proper sleep hygiene. “Sleep Great for Life” will teach you how to lay the proper foundation and how to apply the four steps that are the key components for conquering insomnia.

Insomnia is one of the most serious health risks that a person can face in their lifetime. It is when insomnia becomes a regular part of life that one has to be very concerned about the subsequent health issues that can follow, and the negative impact it can have on the quality of life.

“There is plenty of compelling evidence that sleep is the most important predictor of how long you will live – perhaps more important than whether you smoke, exercise or have high blood pressure or cholesterol levels.” explained William Dement, Stanford University psychiatry professor.

Sleep debt works just like financial debt. Before you realize it, you have a serious problem. You build up sleep debt throughout the week. There are numerous medical studies that prove prolonged lack of sleep can lead to many serious problems including heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, digestive problems, diabetes, sleep apnea, and even stroke.

There are various factors in one’s life that can lead to a sleep disorder. Most commonly, some form of stress has reached a breaking point.

Please note that, although this book is jam packed with great information about sleep disorders, this is not a medical guide or study.

Two Easy Tips for Better Sleep

by Rich Nilsen

USE TECHNOLOGY TO YOUR ADVANTAGE

Don’t want to miss that favorite television show that starts at 10:00 p.m.?  Well, that is what DVRs and VCRs are for. DVRs are wonderful in that you can set up a regular, scheduled taping every time your favorite show airs. You can also easily record the remainder of a show if you find yourself getting sleepy. Use modern technology to your advantage. Your sleep is too important.

WRITE DOWN YOUR PROBLEMS

I am a firm believer that by putting your thoughts to paper, it helps release them from your mind.  It allows you to wake up the next day and, at that time, begin to address the issue(s). Another benefit of doing this is that you will not lose that great idea that you just had while lying in bed!

 Make sure you do not go to bed with your mind racing or with problems still pending.  Put them “to bed” for the night, and then you will be able to put yourself to bed – peacefully.

POPULAR HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS FOR SLEEP

Let’s look at some over-the-counter supplements that many people believe help with insomnia. Before taking any supplement, please be sure to check with your doctor.

Melatonin is believed to be able to help insomnia without altering the individual’s sleep pattern, unlike many prescription drugs.  Not addictive.

Valerian, like Melatonin, falls under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 while allows “medicines” such as this one to bypass the oversight of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Derived from the roots of the Valerian plant, this herbal medicine is used for a variety of purposes, one of which is treating sleep disorders. Some people find it to work well, especially when used over a period of time. Like Melatonin, the risks of using Valerian are not fully known.

Many experts believe both of these products are fairly harmless and do help many individuals with anxiety and sleep disorders. However, there are several adverse side effects that Valerian has been known to cause some people. Valerian is also not to be used at the same time as other depressants, such as alcohol. If you are using herbal supplements, make sure you do the research and understand the risks involved.

Remember Kava-kava? The popular anti-anxiety herbal pill was pulled from store shelves a few years ago when there was a proven link found between Kava and liver damage. Kava was also found to have documented adverse interactions with several prescription and non-prescription drugs. Kava is an excellent example of why we want to weed ourselves off of all types of unnecessary, unregulated supplements. With no FDA oversight, we simply don’t know the possible risks. This is why we want to learn to sleep great without the help of any aids.
