Fast Asleep

Science shows that sleep is more important to our long-term health than diet, exercise and wealth. Yet in today’s society we increasingly struggle to get enough of it.

In Fast Asleep, Dr Michael Mosley explains exactly what happens to us when we sleep, and how getting a regular 7-8 hours sleep a night can reduce our risk of depression, keep us slim and help us fight chronic disease.

Prone to insomnia himself, he has taken part in numerous sleep experiments and tested every remedy going to discover what works and what doesn’t. The result is a brilliant, four-week programme designed to break the habit of insomnia and help you re-establish a healthy sleep pattern.

With advice on everything from how to improve your sleep hygiene to the importance of gut health, this book provides you with the tools you need not just to sleep better but to reduce stress levels and feel happier and healthier every day.
