Join German physician and preventive medicine consultant Dr Alexander Zeuke as he reveals the latest groundbreaking research on the power of sleep, drawing from the fields of neuroscience, biophysics, and circadian biology to explore the nature of restorative sleep.
Designed to be more than just a self-help book, Sleep Timer offers an in-depth and scientific look at how sleep works, the factors that influence it, and practical steps that you can take to achieve better sleep.
Dr Alexander Zeuke provides cutting-edge information on how to improve your environment and lifestyle to enhance the two decisive mechanisms that lead to healthy sleep: Circadian Rhythms and Sleep Drive.

Tools to self-analyse and measure sleep; how to assess your inner biological clock and circadian phase (melatonin levels and other circadian hormones) in home environment.
