Fast Asleep: Improve Brain Function, Lose Weight, Boost Your Mood, Reduce Stress, and Become a Better Sleeper

First the very minor negatives. A lot of padding at the beginning. Some may find the background information interesting, but as someone who was suffering with increasingly consistent insomnia, I wanted to get to the "good stuff".Essentially it's a mix of diet, and lifestyle advice with minor mentions of exercise. There is a recipes section in the latter half of the book.He recommends slightly varied regimes based on how bad your sleep is. Luckily mine was not too bad, but it was beginning to affect mood, appetite and ability to concentrate for work so this book was just what I needed.In summary, I've found the techniques work, I've implemented some of the relaxation techniques and taken on board the advice. The 'acute' regime is tough. You restrict hours in bed at the beginning and then go to bed slightly earlier each week as your sleep improves. I'm only on my first week and it's tough but seems to be improving things-I was waking at 2.30am-3am having gone to bed at 10.30 or 11pm and I'm now sleeping a little better, but I have a few more weeks to go before I'm back to going to bed at a normal time. Anway, I recommend it, it works for me but everyone is different I guess.

Very good

I had already read Michael's 5:2 diet book and thought it was excellent. And being someone who woke up in the middle of the night and found it hard to get back to sleep, Michael's fast asleep book made me realise that I'm not alone. Most of all, the best advice I got from the book is don't get annoyed that you can't get back to sleep. Just relax. Get out of bed and do something boring. Get back into bed and you will get back to sleep. It works for me.

I like Dr Mosely’s books and am doing well on the fast 800This book was in my opinion a bit like a bandaid a lot of research however a tad superficial with solutions that you could read in a newspaperChange your schedule change life Dr Suhhas kris.... Amazon was more informative and gave holistic reasons for insomnia

Loved this book. It was a great read and provided plenty of valuable information. After years of being unable to sleep, I can now go to bed and fall asleep within minutes thanks to the excellent techniques given by Michael Moseley.For those who often find good quality sleep difficult to achieve, this book is highly recommended
