Sleep Secrets For Shift Workers is a practical how-to book
Say to yourself three times: " I am going to yawn." Presto you yawned! There is no drug in the pharmacy that can make you yawn in three seconds, but suggestion can. This simple experiment proves that suggestion can work for you. Using suggestion to help you sleep better is just one of the practical answers to your sleep problems as a shift worker, that you will find in my book "Sleep Secrets for Shift Workers & People with Off-Beat Schedules."
One of every four men and one of every six women in the United States are shift workers. Approximately 25 million Americans works shifts. According to one study, half of them have sleep problems. In another study, 15% of shift workers questioned reported falling asleep while driving at least once every three months. Obviously sleep problems can be lethal for the shift worker, and solving them is a survival skill. This skill begins by thinking about sleep itself.
Sleep is like healing. If you have an injury you clean it up and remove the things that prevent healing. Then leave the rest to your body. Your body is very smart; it knows how to heal. Sleep is similar. Just remove the things that prevent sleep. Your body is very smart; it knows how to sleep.
So this book is mainly about removing the many things that prevent sleep, such as: A bedroom that is not a "sleeproom," poor diet and exercise habits, shift-related sex problems, the sleep-damaging drugs in your life (including sleeping pills), anxieties such as worry, regret and guilt, and lastly the crazy world of shift work itself with all of its destructive effects on your family life, your social life and your sleep.
Finally: This is a 'user-friendly' book. Readers will find here no jargon and pompous language; no small ideas hiding behind big words. This is above all a practical "how-to" book. It won the Midwest Independent Publishers Association First Place Award as the "Best Self-Help Book", Minneapolis, 22 March 1997
