From renowned ABC News anchor/correspondent and formerinsomniac Diane Macedo, comes a practical, user-friendly guide to gettingbetter sleep. The Sleep Fix flips the switch on common advice,illuminating the reporter’s relentless search for how to get a good night’ssleep and the surprising, scientific, and practical solutions she found alongthe way.Roughlythirty percent of the population is estimated to be living with insomnia, whilemany more unknowingly suffer from other sleep disorders. In The Sleep Fix,Macedo aims to change that with perspective-shifting research andeasy-to-implement solutions based not just on science and experts, but also herown years-long struggle. Asan early-morning reporter and overnight news anchor, Macedo learned the hardway how valuable sleep is, and how it affects everything from our heart to ourbrain to our immune system. The longer Macedo struggled, the more her healthdeteriorated. Desperate, she tried standard sleep tip after standard sleep tip,but nothing worked - instead, it made her worse. Finally,after developing a tolerance to sleeping pills, Macedo decidedto attack the problem as a journalist, interviewing sleep experts from all overthe world to get to the bottom of what really keeps us from sleeping—and thevarious ways to fix it. AsMacedo explains, the solution to catching zzz’s isn’t as simple as giving upcaffeine, or putting away your phone before bed.
