“‘Read this book now!’ should be shouted from rooftops. In this gorgeously illustrated, deeply researched book, we come face-to-face with holistic solutions to our complex challenges with sleep. This book holds the potential to improve not just our sleep but every aspect of our health.” —MK Czerwiec, RN “Sleep is top priority for our mental health, but who doesn’t have sleeping troubles? With beautiful art, personal stories, scientific information, and the occasional koala bear, Maureen Burdock leads us from sleepless nights to sweet dreams.” —Ellen Forney, author of Rock Steady: Brilliant Advice from My Bipolar Life “Sleepless Planet is a beautifully illustrated graphic novel and a well-organized, well-written story of the author's own elusive quest for restful sleep. Simultaneously a scientific primer, a personal memoir, and a practical guide, it offers anyone who has struggled with sleepless nights hope as well as practical strategies for success. Each carefully constructed section addresses the essential groundwork that should be done before delving into the more complex neurochemical mechanisms that underlie insomnia.” —Stasha Gominak, MD, creator of RightSleep® “Smart, honest, and soothing for anyone tired of being tired—a wittily drawn guide for everyone worn down by our 24/7 society.” —Johan Eklöf, author of The Darkness Manifesto: On Light Pollution, Night Ecology, and the Ancient Rhythms That Sustain Life
