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.
