Paperback. Condition: New. Sleep has hardly changed since Paleolithic humans snoozed soundly in their caves. While sabre-toothed tigers were their biggest night-time worry, today it's stress and social media that keep us awake, but the solutions are the same, and sleep therapist Dr Merijn van de Laar offers understanding and adv…ice to have you sleeping better within weeks. How to get a better night's sleep in 3 weeks: Don't believe everything you read or hear about sleepLet go of the 8-hour ruleUse the simple sleep diary in the back of this book to record your sleep pattern over 3 weeksDiscover your personal sleep needsExamine your attitude towards lying awake at nightShorter total bed times might be betterFocus on the reason for lying awake rather than on the reason for not sleepingReduce stressKeep regular bedtimesFollow the rules of natureRespect your personal circadian rhythmDon't tempt the night-time ghosts Human sleep as we know it today evolved hundreds of thousands years ago, to suit a hunter-gatherer lifestyle. It's not always compatible with our modern lives, but remains an essential function, vital for our health, well-being and daytime functioning. In this groundbreaking new book, Dr Merijn van de Laar investigates the origins of sleep based on archaeological findings and anthropological studies in contemporary hunter-gatherers, looking at the major discrepancies between our primordial bodily needs and our current sleep-inhibiting behaviour. Cave dwellers lived in balance with the forces of nature. They had adapted perfectly to environmental influences such as light, temperature and seasonal variations. The way they ate and moved during the day must have had a positive effect on sleep quality. We need to look to their example, and adjust our eating, exercise, light, temperature and, last but not least: our expectations towards sleep. By taking on board the ancient wisdom of our ancestors, we will improve the quality of our sleep, the way our bodies were designed to do it.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Drawing on psychology, sleep science and the habits of ancient humans, this guide examines how modern life disrupts rest and how exercise, diet, light, temperature and - perhaps counterintuitively - less time in bed can help restore it. Combining rigorous research with sometimes surprising advice, it o…ffers insomniacs and restless sleepers a thoughtful route towards deeper, more natural and restorative sleep.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Sapiens meets Why We Sleep in an evolutionary romp through the science of sleep--and how we can get better rest--by one of the world's leading sleep scientists.We spend roughly a third of our lives in bed, but for millions of us, not all of that time is spent sleeping. We strive for eight ho…urs per night, only to lie awake thanks to stress, our ever-present devices, a new baby, or that 4pm coffee you thought you needed.As sleep scientist and recovering insomniac Merijn van de Laar shows, the struggle with modern insomnia is nothing new. When homo sapiens evolved hundreds of thousands of years ago, when saber-toothed tigers were their biggest nighttime worry, wakefulness served to protect one's tribe at night. Research shows these episodic sleep patterns even gave our ancestors an evolutionary advantage. We can look to their example for guidance in improving our sleep health and understanding our natural circadian rhythm, too: how our sleep patterns change as we age, the benefits of communal sleep, the importance of environmental factors such as temperature and light. While our myriad gadgets may distinguish us from early humans, understanding the ways our brains evolved to rest can chart the course toward a better night's sleep.Drawing from emerging science, archeological research into our ancestors' habits, and close observation of contemporary hunter-gatherer cultures, How to Sleep Like a Caveman explains everything from why we sometimes jerk awake at night--likely a remnant of having slept in trees--to why our efforts to "optimize" our sleep schedules might just be a fool's errand. The result is a surprising, accessible new framework grounded in ancestral health for thinking about sleep--the way we were designed to. Drawing on the wisdom of our ancestors, you'll discover: Evolutionary Sleep Science: Why our brains evolved to wake up during the night and how that "episodic sleep" was once a survival advantage against saber-toothed tigers.Beyond the 8-Hour Myth: Learn why trying to "optimize" a perfect eight-hour block of sleep might be a fool's errand and what hunter-gatherer societies teach us about flexible sleep patterns.Primal Sleep Instincts: An explanation for why we sometimes jerk awake as we fall asleep--a fascinating remnant from our tree-sleeping ancestors.A New Framework for Rest: Practical guidance on environmental factors like temperature and light, and how to apply ancestral wisdom to improve your modern-day sleep health. "Originally published in Great Britain in 2025 by William Collins"--Title page verso. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
