6. THE FAST ASLEEP PROGRAM

I’ve given you the latest science and identified some of the issues that prevent you from getting to sleep and staying asleep, along with advice on how to improve your sleep hygiene. I’m now going to pull all this information together into a four-week program. Follow it, and you will soon be feeling far more cheerful, with more energy and greater mental clarity. The first thing you have to decide is whether you want to try sleep restriction therapy (SRT), the part of the program that I introduced you to in Chapter 4.

SRT is extremely effective, but it is a challenge. Initially, during the day, you may feel sleepier and more irritable, so you do have to be very careful about driving or working machinery. Staying up late at night when you want to be asleep is also quite boring. The good news is that it doesn’t last for long and it really does work.

Note: If you think you might have a significant health problem, or a sleep disorder such as sleep apnea, consult your doctor before starting on a new program such as this one. SRT should not be tried by pregnant women or young children.
