How to beat insomnia — by sleeping like a caveman: Sleep Expert Merijn van de Laar

Merijn van de Laar had insomnia for years but is now an expert in getting a good night’s rest. He has a brilliant book out about conquering sleep struggles called How to Sleep Like a Caveman: Ancient Wisdom for a Better Night’s Rest. I used to have insomnia myself – and what I love about this book is that for problem sleepers it is a relaxing and reassuring read which is not the case for some of the biggest books in the sleep genre over recent years. So in this episode expect to learn:Why the common advice around sleep can actually make insomnia worseHow to reframe wakefulness during the nightThe powerful technique of sleep restriction therapy and how it worksThe surprising origins of the "8 hours of sleep" mythPractical tips for regulating your sleep-wake cycle with light and exerciseBook ReleaseI’m excited to announce the paperback edition of my book, Champion Thinking: Get Out of Your Own Way, Find Your Peak Performance, is now available.
