One woman’s struggle to get a good night’s sleep

   After a single, catastrophic event, journalist Miranda Levy had one sleepless night, then another, and then another. She sought help from anyone she could: doctors, an acupuncturist,

a reiki practitioner, a hypnotist, therapists, personal trainers – but nothing seemed to work.

Sleep, wellbeing and mental health are intrinsically linked. Yet sleeplessness is

surprisingly common: 16 million of us suffer from insomnia, with a third of adults grappling with insomnia at least once a week (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence)

with rates of worry-related sleep disturbance skyrocketing during the pandemic to 34% overall, and more than doubling in some groups (Public Health England – Every Mind Matters).

In The Insomnia Diaries, Miranda Levy tells the story of her experience of severe, crippling insomnia that affected every aspect of her life for years, and how she ultimately recovered. Dr Sophie Bostock, scientist, sleep expert

and member of the team who developed the award-winning digital programme Sleepio, contributes a foreword. She and a host of expert

contributors have advised on the medical elements within the text throughout.

Part memoir, part reportage, this book will help anyone who struggles to get a good night’s sleep – whether occasionally or all of the time ¬– appreciate the issues and understand the options as they find their best way to get the rest they need.

Heidi Lynn’s  Book Reviews 

First, I want to thank Miranda Levy, Aster, Hachette UK Company and Random Things Tours for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 

Oh WOW!!! Miranda Levy from one insomniac to another I thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing The Insomnia Diaries: How I Learned To Sleep Again. I will admit I was skeptical at reading this as I have tried many things in the past. However, you blew my initial reactions out the window and amazed me how much I learned. This is a must read for anyone with sleep issues or Insomnia. 

Miranda sure did her homework on this book! She gave fascinating statistics and facts on medications, mental health issues, defines insomnia for us, etc. I was literally blown away by how educational this book really was. It was fascinating. 

My heart goes out to you Miranda for everything you suffered and endured while finding that was right for you.
