Insomnia looks different for everyone. Whether it's caused by stress, a traumatic life event or even a snoring partner, poor sleep can affect the quality of your waking life. But Dr Pedram Navab wants readers to know that it's not a lost cause-falling asleep can be just as easy as waking up. With his cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT-I) programme, paired with relatable case studies of different sleep disorders, readers are guided to new and improved sleep in as little as four weeks.

In Sleep Reimagined, the six-step CBT-I programme teaches readers how to understand sleep, rewire their arousal system through therapeutic relaxation, practise sleep restriction and stimulus control, restructure attitudes towards sleep, use mindfulness intervention to continue cognitive components and prevent insomnia relapse through planning. Both comprehensive and entertaining, this book is the perfect bedside companion to discover better sleep and better life.

Reviews
"Sleep Reimagined brilliantly encourages readers to use their own imagination to relate to patients from case studies, steadily building their understanding about sleep disorders while unveiling insights about treatment that the readers can then apply to their own lives." -- Gwynne Church MD, Pediatric Sleep Medicine, UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital
"Dr. Pedram Navab is a very skillful storyteller and has written a series of compelling vignettes to bring to life the realities of what it is like to suffer from poor sleep. Pedram uses his unique perspective to share his insights from his experience as a sleep expert to help the reader revisualize their relationship with sleep. People with insomnia, in particular, may appreciate the latter part of the book, which provides a roadmap to better sleep health." -- Rafael Pelayo MD, author of How to Sleep
"For people who struggle to get a good night's sleep, and for the people who treat patients with insomnia, this book provides a clear and concise guide to cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I). The opening series of case examples highlight the usefulness of CBT-I strategies for individuals experiencing a variety of real-life challenges." -- Jennifer L. Martin, PhD, Professor of Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA
" Dr. Navab has taken an engaging and unique approach in Sleep Reimagined to help reinforce the importance of sleep and to make treatment interventions feel both personalized and hopeful. . . . While sleep treatment is very effective, it is not 'one size fits all' as many other self-help books suggest. Dr. Navab has nailed it, and I am sure this will be beneficial to many people coping with insomnia and other sleep disorders." -- Britney Blair, PsyD, DBSM, CST, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
