Summary

When it comes to health, there is one criminally overlooked element: sleep. Good sleep helps you shed fat for good, stave off disease, stay productive, and improve virtually every function of your mind and body. That's what Shawn Stevenson learned when a degenerative bone disease crushed his dream of becoming a professional athlete. Like many of us, he gave up on his health and his body...until he decided there must be a better way. Through better sleep and optimized nutrition, Stevenson not only healed his body but also achieved fitness and business goals he never thought possible.

In Sleep Smarter, Stevenson shares easy tips and tricks to discover the best sleep and best health of your life. With his 14-Day Sleep Makeover, you'll learn how to create the ideal sleep sanctuary, how to hack sunlight to regulate your circadian rhythms, which clinically proven sleep nutrients and supplements you need, and stress-reduction exercises and fitness tips to keep you mentally and physically sharp.

Sleep Smarter is the ultimate guide to sleeping better, feeling refreshed, and achieving a healthier, happier life.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Contradictory and full of bro science

I hardly think a house plant will significantly alter the oxygen to carbon dioxide ratio in the bed room. If that was your goal then asking your carbon dioxide producing partner to sleep in a separate room would have much greater impact. Thinking of something exciting before going to sleep to help you get out of bed in the morning seems contradictory. I remember being a child on Christmas eve, being excited about the next day certainly helps you to get up early with enthusiasm but hinders falling to sleep. There are much better books based on real science written by people clinically researching the subject which I found more informative.

Love this guy. Massive Value.

My husband has serious sleep problems which has had significant knock on effects with his overall health. I instinctively knew that pills were not treating the issue and would likely just add to his troubles, so i went searching for better answers. I found so much more than I had even hoped for in this book. The content and research behind it goes so far beyond what I expected of the topic. He gives actionable tips as well as an in depth education on how everything in our body works together. I took away so many nuggets even for myself (I thought I had this sleeping thing down- I was wrong). I'm now a serial listener to his podcast, The Model Health Show, and know I can turn on any episode and I'll learn something new. Couldn't recommend this book enough. Thank you Shawn for the work you do. You're not just inspiring change in me and my family, you're providing the road map and the tools.

sleepsmarterbook.com/bonus

This is basically a very long advert to go to the website for the book and download their preferred buyers list of products. You also have to sign up which is very irritating. I hate giving my email over just to receive some spam.

The content of the book is actually very good just the endless plugging of the website does you in, by the end of the book the only thing you remember is the web address! -5 stars for shameless marketing.

Reached Chapter 7 and its just obvious.

This list is so obvious. If you can not sleep you will already be avoiding tech, coffee and keeping room cool, getting to bed at right time etc. It is so basic. It does not tackle insomnia or poor sleep for people who are looking for help beyond the obvious. Start from chapter 6 to miss boring bits but it's long and drawn out. Padded out with dialogue.

Dull and nothing new (Part listened)

Any additional comments?

Must say, I did only last 1 hour 10mins .... I normally give books at least an hour if I'm not liking them, and unfortunately this was one.

Literally only been told to increase serotonin by getting our in daylight more often - this is nothing new and not massively beneficial advice for many.

There may be other help tips in there, but if this is number 1, I'm glad I didn't last much longer.

Great Book

Everyone needs to read or listen to this book . Shawn Stevenson is an amazing human being, I always listen to his podcast the Model Health Show on iTunes or You Tube and have made many positive improvements to my life. He makes everything easy to understand and has all the scientific studies to back up his knowledge. This mans information on life needs to be heard by everyone!

Eye opening

Where does Sleep Smarter rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Pretty high

What was one of the most memorable moments of Sleep Smarter?

Finding out I need to move in order to absorb nutrients from food

Have you listened to any of Shawn Stevenson and Sara Gottfried ’s other performances? How does this one compare?

nope

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

eliminate tech, go back to nature

Any additional comments?

Seriously eye opening, also one listening is not enough, this book is like a handbook and is maybe better suited to either be just a paper book or come with a set of premade NOTES because there is too much information that is not repeated thus too hard to memorize.

A must read/ listen

Really useful points on how to improve your sleep.

As a Chiro I see lots of patients who suffer from poor sleep, I will be recommending this book for them.

Lots of up to date references and easy to apply tips.

In the UK there is a non toxic brand of mattress called natramat as an alternative to the US brand recommended in the book.

Happy sleeping!

Turgid soma for the internet-assembled masses

Despite my initial enthusiasm, I could not finish this book. I am not sure if there is something lost in the audible version, but the content, structure and style simply felt like an insult to my limited intelligence. There are reams of (unsourced and readily accepted) statistics, mixed with twee anecdotes that often - whilst engaging - are completely fallacious in context of the point being made. Together, they pad out an otherwise limited volume of genuine content. I counted 50+ instances of the author starting a statement with "another study indicated..." followed by some numbers, in order to affirm the consequent. There was no qualification or any apparent critical thinking; this was pulp-faction magazine journalism in a book. Vox pop writing doesn't mean an author needs to write for such a base common denominator.

Great book

An easy and interesting listen.

Lots of helpful is and strategies to help get the body in better shape to sleep well.

Much broader view than CBT for Insomnia.

Only criticism is that statements and assertions are not clearly referenced in the main text. Furthermore, in the reference list, many opinion pieces rather than journal articles have been listed.
