Book recommendation: Sleep Smarter

  • by

If you’re anything like us, you know the value of a good night’s sleep, especially when it comes to your exercise performance (and motivation!) as well as your overall health and the ability to function throughout the day.

That’s why we recently picked up a copy of “Sleep Smarter” by Shawn Stevenson, and, let us tell you, it’s been a game-changer!

It’s not about the quantity, it’s about the quality

Shawn’s approach to sleep isn’t just about getting more shut-eye; it’s about getting smarter about it and mastering the art of rest. He breaks down the science behind sleep in a way that’s easy to understand, showing how it impacts everything from our energy levels to our metabolism.

One thing we loved about this book is that it’s not just a bunch of theoretical mumbo-jumbo. Shawn backs up his advice with solid scientific research, but he presents it in a way that’s relatable and actionable. You’ll finish each chapter feeling inspired and ready to make positive changes to your sleep habits.

Knowledge is not what you know. It’s applying what you know.

It goes over 21 actionable tips to implement into your daily routine, but here is a teaser:

  • Find out how to dive into the world of bedtime rituals that can have you sleeping like a baby in no time.
  • The surprising connection between sleep and exercise
  • Learn why your go-to sleep position might be sabotaging your sleep and how to find the perfect position for ultimate sleep bliss.
  • Explore the surprising ways your late-night snacking habits could be affecting your sleep quality and how to snack smarter for better sleep.

Pro tip: Consider opting for the audiobook version to enrich your daily walks with invaluable insights.
