A workbook aimed at helping one get a better night’s sleep by applying Ayurveda concepts, this title provides practical advice (get a better mattress, stop looking at screens) as well as options such as foot baths and replacing coffee with golden milk made from turmeric. Blohberger and Neeter, both authors of Good Sh*t: Your Holistic Guide to the Best Poop of Your Life, are certified yoga and Ayurveda instructors, who stress that environment and diet strongly impact sleep. Prompts after each section allow for personalized introspection of sleep habits and potential changes to routine. A 21-day sleeping reset is promoted with weekly trackers to log the time of last meals, caffeine and alcohol intake, as well as which new sleep rituals were implemented. Advice on dealing with common sleep disruptors, such as twitchy eyes and racing thoughts, are given.
VERDICT Much of the work consists of blank pages for journaling. For those interested in the meditation and yoga mindset, it could be a useful guide for changing habits.
