The Sleep Solution

W. Chris Winter · 2017
82/100
👍 Worth It

Dr. Chris Winter is the real deal — a board-certified sleep neurologist with two decades of clinical practice — and it shows in a book that doesn't just tell you to sleep more but actually helps you understand why your particular sleep is broken and what to do about it. New York magazine calling it the best book for insomnia isn't hype; the personalized diagnostic approach puts it a level above the genre's more prescriptive offerings. Dense in spots, but worth the effort for anyone genuinely struggling with sleep.
