You sleep for eight hours… so why do you still feel exhausted?

Most people believe rest is the same as sleep. But true restoration goes deeper. You can wake up tired if your mind is cluttered, your emotions are bottled, or your spirit feels empty. Rest is not just about closing your eyes; it is about renewing every part of who you are.

In Beyond Sleep, author Denise St. Charles reveals the 9 types of rest that restore energy, balance, and peace. Drawing on real-life case studies, reflection prompts, affirmations, and practical checklists, this book is a complete guide to living restfully in a busy, demanding world.

Inside you will discover:

• Mental Rest: how to quiet the chatter and think clearly again
• Physical Rest: practices that heal fatigue beyond sleep
• Spiritual Rest: ways to reconnect with meaning and purpose
