When it comes to health, there is one criminally overlooked element: sleep. Good sleep helps you shed fat for good, stave off disease, stay productive, and improve virtually every function of your mind and body. That’s what Shawn Stevenson learned when a degenerative bone disease crushed his dream of becoming a professional athlete. Like many of us, he gave up on his health and his body, until he decided there must be a better way. Through better sleep and optimized nutrition, Stevenson not only healed his body but also achieved fitness and business goals he never thought possible.

In Sleep Smarter, Stevenson shares easy tips and tricks to discover the best sleep and best health of your life. With his 14-Day Sleep Makeover, you’ll learn how to create the ideal sleep sanctuary, how to hack sunlight to regulate your circadian rhythms, which clinically proven sleep nutrients and supplements you need, and stress-reduction exercises and fitness tips to keep you mentally and physically sharp.

Sleep Smarter is the ultimate guide to sleeping better, feeling refreshed, and achieving a healthier, happier life.

Will improve your sleep and your life

ByBart MotesVINE VOICEon June 26, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The biggest endorsement I can give Sleep Smarter is that I've been trying to convince my wife to go to sleep earlier for years. Finally, after I got this book, I not so subtly started sharing factoids from the book about the benefits of sleeping earlier and better sleep hygiene things that you learn in the book (like leaving your cell phone outside the bedroom), but she wasn't listening. Finally I said, hey baby, let's make a deal, read this book and I'll read whatever you want me to read. She agreed. A week later, she's heading for bed by 10 p.m. and following other tips found in the book! #winning!

What's great about Stevenson's book is that he has a really full spectrum approach to getting better sleep. Some of them are obvious, like the classic early to bed, early to rise tip. But did you know that the body's rejuvenation mechanisms are amped between 10pm and 2am?

It's science backed information like this that really helps. It's one thing to know that its better to get to sleep earlier, but quite another to learn that there's a real qualitative difference between sleeping between x and y hours. Common sense would dictate that you have to get x hours of sleep (I usually just get six, but we should be getting more, though Stevenson doesn't lay down the law on a number, instead focusing on better sleep quality), but who cares when we get it?

It turns out that when you go to sleep, when you wake up, and which hours your body is resting are very important.

The other point I'll make is that you may be reading this and saying "whatever." 21 tips? I can get this from the internet. But, back to my wife. I recently read a book called Paleo Fitness for Dummies, which is quite a good book in its own right. The authors of Paleo Fitness recommend some of the same things that Stevenson does, namely, try to cut out the electronic sources of lights 90 minutes before sleep and to go to sleep around or before 10 p.m. I tried to share this idea with my wife and she just laughed in my face. But after reading Sleep Smarter, she is buying in.*

So, here's the point: sure, you can probably find information on many of these topics on the internet. Stevenson recommends meditation. There's plenty of information on meditation. Stevenson recommends light therapy. There's plenty of information out there. But, sometimes you need to convince people to buy in. Stevenson does such a good job assembling this information and presenting it in a compelling style, that it is well worth a few of your hard earned dollars.

And maybe the person you will convince to buy in is you.

Highly recommended.

* I actually labeled this advice the bad in my review of Paleo Fitness!

"The Bad

Some of the advice is very, very aspirational. The sleep section contains some great points, but who is going to completely shut down from the internet/tv at 8pm, be in bed by 10pm, and up before 7am? My wife just laughed at me when I read it out." http://www.amazon.com/review/R3FV78V733RKDW/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

Appreciation shoutout: I discovered Sleep Smarter through a podcast called The Man Project with Ted Ryce. Like the book, this podcast has wonderful and surprising life improving tips. I recommend it. Check it out.

Cannot recommend highly enough. A must-read for everyone!

ByJoel McCrackenon September 26, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This book is incredible. I am so, so happy with the results. Over the course of one month, I have gone from having a hard time falling asleep every night and fighting to get out of bed in the morning, to being able to consistently fall asleep around 10 pm, and wake up between 6 am and 7 am.

I feel so much better. I believe the quality of my sleep has increased by so much, my constant health problems (caused by leaky gut) have begun to heal. What is more, the weight I can't seem to lose has just started to fall off, without trying.

New insights for a long term health seeker

ByJulie Brennanon June 25, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I've read a lot on nutrition, exercise and health and thought I knew enough about sleep. Turns out a lot of the tips on this book were either new to me, or provided me research and backing for things I'd heard were damaging to my body's ability to get a good night's sleep, but had questioned due to a lack of science to back the claims. My husband and I read this a few chapters a night over a week and really appreciated the format, for chapters we already were pretty solid on, we could read the power tips and move on, but for areas that provided new information to us, we took the time to read the whole chapter.

We appreciated the author's sense of humor and practicality - for example, giving options for how to continue having coffee, vs. all or nothing solutions, and other "hacks" to help us integrate suggestions in our every day lives that can't always accommodate a perfect implementation.

I had never heard of this author and didn't purchase the book based on his podcast. My daughter's doctor mentioned the role of sleep deprivation in weight management and recommended we look at her sleep habits as a possible cause for her unexplained weight gain. I thought this was strange as it seemed she was getting a lot of sleep, but looking closer at her habits, we realized she was not sleeping well and was tired all the time as a 16 year old. I had not thought about the timing and other factors impacting the quality of her sleep, not to mention mine or my husband's, and I was searching for answers about my own fatigue and recently night waking in spite of good diet and what I thought was adequate exercise. In looking for more information I found this book, and we've been applying these ideas as a whole family.

A lot of good science and information, but could have been less repetitive and more concise/shorter.

a lot of information but kind of repetitive as many of these self help books tend to be.

This book could save your life! MUST READ!

ByCeci Milleron March 15, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Sleep Smarter is a real eye opener! The information provided by Shawn in this book is essential for everyone to read! After all, we ALL sleep, right?! There has been a real lack of information on the importance of sleep, until now. Most people have no clue just how important and critical getting good sleep actually is to our overall health. I was astounded by some of the information I learned from Shawn. You may think you can "make up" for lost sleep on the weekend, or that the only downfall is feeling a little sleepy at work the next day. You will be shocked to discover that lack of sleep actually effects every aspect of your health. If you're already a follower of his, from his pod cast, then you know that you are going to get top notch wisdom here. This book is easy to read, because he writes just like he talks on his pod cast. He's personable and makes it easy to understand. Every chapter ends with several tips to help you start getting the best sleep of your life today and getting healthy. Lack of sleep can actually cause you to hang on to unwanted weight, be more susceptible to serious health issues, not to mention lack of good decision making, be more prone to accidents, and what your your relationships? Sleep effects all of these things. There's also a 14 day sleep makeover to help you make a plan that will help you make the needed changes. I highly recommend this book and his pod cast to everyone. Be sure to check out The Model Health Show too!
