Produktbeschreibung

Many of us overlook the power of sleep--until we struggle to get enough of it. Our culture glorifies productivity and achievement, yet millions suffer from chronic exhaustion, stress, and anxiety. If we could sleep better, could we live better? Ken Wytsma, an author and educator who has grappled with every sleep issue imaginable, believes we can. In this fresh and empowering guide, he considers the significance of sleep--not just as a health necessity but also as a spiritual and creative foundation for well-being. Weaving together personal storytelling, historical vignettes, and spiritual insights on the hidden power of rest, Wytsma - explores why sleep deprivation harms our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being; - explains how rest fuels happiness, creativity, resilience, and a life of service to others; - shows that reclaiming the gift of sleep is an invitation to the good life; and - offers practical wisdom for overcoming sleep struggles. This is a compassionate, encouraging, and fascinating guide for anyone looking to escape the cycle of exhaustion and rediscover the joy of a well-rested life.
