Review of Your Sleep Sweet Spot
Posted: 19 May 2022, 18:30
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Your Sleep Sweet Spot" by Diana Navarro M.S..]
Do you have any issues with your sleep? Has the standard sleep advice not helped you? Then I suggest reading Your Sleep Sweet Spot by Diana Navarro, M.S. It has three parts with the first being about the different stages of the sleep cycle and the multitude of sleep disorders. In the second part, she discusses different theories about dreams, their possible meanings, and what happens to us while we dream. In the third part of the book, she dives into the different methods that can be used to help you find your sleep sweet spot, including conventional and alternative medicine, the environment you sleep in, and different ways to wind down and get your mind ready to sleep.
My favorite things about this book was the focus on people’s individual needs and the accepting attitude toward unusual sleep schedules. Personally, I have an unusual sleep schedule that is always shifting, so I appreciated the author’s assertion that this is not necessarily something to be fixed, but it just needs to be worked with.
Overall, the advice section was good. However, I’ve heard of most of the things in it before, like relaxing scents and music and taking a warm bath or shower to help you mind get into a relaxed state that’s ready to sleep. What really made this section useful was that, like the rest of the book, each bit of advice was given through the lens of each person’s individual needs. And the author went into detail about why one thing might work better for some and not others depending on their needs. There were also some good tips to hep with the creation of habits of any kind.
This book has only two true flaws. First, I did find more than ten editing errors, including punctuation, grammar, and spelling. Second, there were some instances of awkwardly phrased sentences, which interrupted the flow of the writing and was what I liked the least about this book.
Due to those issues, I am rating this book 3 out of 4 stars. I recommend it to anyone who is struggling to find relief from their sleep problems. The only people who will not like this book are those who are against holistic and alternative medicine. There are also mentions of the paranormal and supernatural, particularly during the second section about dreams where the ideas of soul travel and dreams being out-of-body experiences are discussed. So if you don’t believe in those kinds of things, you might want to skip this book.
