Sleep well

Do you struggle with sleep disturbances or have trouble falling and staying asleep? If so, you’re not alone – about a third of the population reports experiencing issues with their sleep. Perhaps you’ve developed your own methods and tricks to improve your rest, such as counting sheep, taking a walk, meditating, or enjoying a hot cup of tea. Maybe you’ve delved into books and articles on the subject, seeking expert advice in hopes of discovering the key to perfect sleep.

If any of this sounds familiar, the recently published book by Caroline Lustenberger and Salome Kurth will likely capture your interest. These scientists present the latest findings in sleep research and dispel common myths about sleep. Their goal isn’t just to help readers improve their sleep effectively but also to free them from the pressure of striving for ‘perfect’ sleep– a paradoxical mindset that often contributes to sleep problems.

In an interview, Caroline Lustenberger shares more about what we currently understand –and still don’t – about sleep, how our bodies regulate it, and her strategies for getting a good night’s rest.
