"Arianna Huffington is one of our leading authorities on the life
well-lived. In this passionate, deeply researched book, she reveals
everything you need to know about the magic elixir of sleep: from
how to get enough, to why it matters. I dare you to read this book
and carry on depriving your body (and soul) of the nightly
nourishment it so desperately needs."
-- Susan Cain, co-founder of Quiet Revolution and author of
Quiet
"In this very thorough and highly readable book, Arianna Huffington
explains the history, nature, and science of the sleep problem: why
so many people today do not sleep well. And she gives us solutions
in the form of evidence-based advice about what to do and what not
to do to enjoy the restorative sleep we need. I recommend The Sleep
Revolution highly."
-- Andrew Weil, MD, author of Fast Food, Good Food
"Arianna Huffington has written a book of profound importance. From
time to time we'll all find sleep comes hard. For many, it is a
constant struggle. Taking Arianna's wise advice to rebuild your
relationship with sleep- to befriend rather than struggle with it-
will transform your life, putting you back in touch with your more
compassionate and intelligent self."
-- Mark Williams, Emeritus Professor of Clinical Psychology,
University of Oxford and Co-author of The Mindful Way
Workbook
"The message of Arianna Huffington's compelling book won me over:
You can be your own Prince Charming. You can empower yourself with
knowledge- knowledge in this book- to wake yourself up. And then,
use that knowledge to put yourself, every night, into a sleep that
is healthy and restorative!"
-- Sherry Turkle, Professor of the Social Studies of Science and
Technology, MIT and author of Reclaiming Conversation

performance consequences in a comprehensive, engaging, and
accessible book. A must read for everyone burning the candle on
both ends."
-- Gene Block, Chancellor of UCLA, and Distinguished Professor
of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences
"Science and experience proves it: the foundation of a happy,
healthy, energetic, and productive life is a good night's rest-yet
for many of us, it's hard to turn out the light and turn off our
brains. The Sleep Revolution is an invaluable resource for anyone
who wants to build the crucial habit of sleep."
-- Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project
"Propelled by cutting-edge science and brimming with wisdom and
wit, The Sleep Revolution is the single best book about sleep in
years. An extraordinary achievement."
-- A. Roger Ekirch, author of At Day's Close: Night in Times
Past
"In her new book, The Sleep Revolution, Arianna Huffington draws on
a remarkable breadth and depth of science, literature,
spirituality, and story to remind us that sleep is not just a
restorative, but a threshold to the resources of life that wait
below our noise. By looking honestly into her own journey, Arianna
uncovers important markers in the human journey through detailed
research, knit together in a way that broadens our foundation. The
chapters 'Sleep Throughout History' and 'Dreams' are, by
themselves, an invaluable contribution to our modern consciousness.
The Sleep Revolution unravels the tense threads we tangle ourselves
in, giving us a chance to re-engage the forces that sustain us.
This book won't just help you sleep better; it will enliven you
while you're awake."
-- Mark Nepo, author of Inside the Miracle, The One Life We're
Given, and The Book of Awakening
"Count on Arianna Huffington to write a book on sleep that kept me
up at night. The Sleep Revolution is invaluable, interesting, and
ultimately necessary for us all. It explains why we are so tired
and how that has to change. Here is the science, history, and
culture of the role that sleep plays in our lives -and the role
that it should really play."
-- Atul Gawande, MD, MPH, Surgeon, Researcher, and Author of Being
Mortal
"A lucid, compelling, and rational narrative on the importance of
sleep to our mental, emotional and physical health. In The Sleep
Revolution, Arianna Huffington exposes the dangers of our
modern-day attitude towards sleep and advocates for a renewed
emphasis on the importance of sleep to our well-being. It is
nothing short of a call to arms for policy makers, CEOs, parents,
educators, hospital administrators, and coaches to confront the
fact that insufficient sleep is a modern-day health crisis."
-- Patrick Fuller, Associate Professor of Neurology, Harvard
Medical School and Deaconess Medical Center
"This is one of those books that, if you don't read, when you're
dead you're really going to wish you had. I never thought I would
have needed a self-help book for sleep, but I did! Sleep is
everything - that's my takeaway, and so you better know how to do
it."
-- Bill
Maher
