On Sleep | 
(Fell asleep before I got to post this yesterday. I see you, universe!)
I‘m posting one book per day from my ever-increasing TBR. No description. No explanation. Just books to read. Join the fun if you want.
Day 48.

pickI just finished listening to this on audio. This was between a pick and a so-so for me. It wasn‘t a bad book at all - it had some great info/advice. But I read Why We Sleep earlier this year and ultimately liked it better. It was honestly a better audio experience for me - that narrator was more soothing I think.
pick💫💫💫💫 Educational, easy to read, insightful.
This easy to follow novel has all you need to find how to sleep better. The first part covers the history of sleeping disorders then the second part gives easy to follow steps along with suggested phone apps to use. I found the poems beautiful and uplifting.

pickSuch an informative book all about our sleep problems and how to change our horrible behavior regarding devices, caffeine and other sleep robbing habits. Read it if you have problems with sleep. 4⭐️
This is my current read. It‘s all about the importance of sleep. There‘s a lot of interesting parts, but at times it can be a bit hard to get through. Hoping it gets better!
Perhaps listening to an audiobook about sleep while I was long distance driving was not the best idea. 😳😁😬😂
pickOnly made it to about hour 10 of the #13in3 unfortunately, but at least I finished this book, which was really interesting and I think will push me to attempt to get more sleep and better sleep. I didn't care too much about the dream analysis section. I just want to not be tired all the time. This is perfect t for anyone who may deal with insomnia or other sleeping struggles.
pickGood history of sleep, sleep science and ideas to improve sleep. Well footnotes for further reading.
pickI originally pulled this one out for a #TuneIntoNovember picture after I had shelved it about halfway through two years ago. I felt moved to start reading it again, and the last three nights I've already been better about going to bed earlier and not feeling tired in the morning before work. Sleep is so important to your health and many people don't make it a priority. I'm with Arianna that we need to change the mindset around it. Naps are cool!
I started this one a couple years ago and was loving it, but it was so hard to keep reading as whenever I would read it, it essentially told me to put the book down and go to bed 😂. However, it's perfect for #WakeUpCall for #TuneintoNovember as it really hits home how important good sleep is for a fully functioning, healthy body. (And that's also the name of part one!)

4. Sad to say living in Massachusetts but...Seafood
5. The Sunne in Splendour, The Lord of the Rings omnibus, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
Arianna Huffington taught me so much about sleep, a subject I felt confident I had mastered!
pickAbsolutely loved this book! As a firm believer in the power of sleep, I just had to read this. So glad I did... It was the perfect combination of personal stories, anecdotes, and actual science... Easily relatable (with a few exceptions) and full of easily digestible information (history, dreaming, etc). Though there is no "one fits all" cure to poor sleep, this book offers an abundance of possible steps to take for better sleep
pickI really liked this book! I'm fascinated by the subject of sleep and self-care, and I usually bail on non fiction about three quarters through. But this one kept my interest. I love the authors writing, and since hearing her on a podcast I now imagined each word in her stunning Greek accent. 4 and a half stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Who needs a sleep revolution? Just take a 10 hour drive to your daughter's house for Thanksgiving.
When your best friend cleans out her book shelves and shares!!
so-soInteresting stuff. Like a lot of non-fiction books by journalists it may have been better suited to a series of articles.
As I recently collapsed from exhaustion this book has wonderful tips!
pickIt's weird that people need to be taught that sleep is important... somehow I still enjoyed the book even though I never sacrificed sleep for anything
pickWhat do you know about sleep besides laying down? This book covers how to get better sleep and why we need sleep to begin with.
Was at the library with the boys and couldn't resist peeking in the sale room.☺️ I loved Arianna Huffington's other book, "Thrive". I have had Wild on my TBR forever so happy to snag it! I already read The Blossom Street book but I wanted to use the cover as color inspiration for my coloring book.
so-soI'd heard a few podcasts featuring Arianna as she promoted this book and it seemed brilliant. However I found the writing style distracting. For a sleep disciple (it's my hobby), there wasn't much actionable advice. Would be good for my sleep deprived friends!
pickFascinating! About two hundred pages of proof is that getting sleep is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to make us better people. Highly recommend to readers of all ages.
panThis reads like a heavily padded high school research paper. There are quotes from books, cherry-picked statistics and anecdotes from anyone and everyone who agrees we are all sleep deprived. Aside from the bit about Winston Churchill, I learned nothing. Little content, lots of repetition.
After being yelled at by a doc for not understanding what "rest" means, this book mysteriously turned up at work. 100 pages in and Abby and I are not impressed.
Heard some really great things about this book. Not a huge fan if these types of "self-help" book but as someone whose sleep habits are not exactly normal it will be interesting to see if I could pick up some ideas on how to become a more "normal" sleeper ?
pickSleep is in high demand but is something we often cannot get enough of. This book explores how the whole world seems to not be getting enough sleep. She explores the true cost of a sleep-deprived society from automobile accidents to less production on the job.
Mr BFR is reading this now. Fascinating look at sleep & the long-term dangers of sleep deprivation. Well researched and well written. Easy to read and peppered with personal stories.
So far really liking this book! :)
