About this listen

With cutting-edge sleep science and time-tested techniques, The Sleep Solution will help anyone achieve healthy sleep and eliminate pills, pain, and fatigue.

If you want to fix your sleep problems, Internet tips and tricks aren't going to do it for you. You need to really understand what's going on with your sleep - both what your problems are and how to solve them.

The Sleep Solution is an exciting journey of sleep self-discovery and understanding that will help you custom design specific interventions to fit your lifestyle. Drawing on his 24 years of experience within the field, neurologist and sleep expert W. Chris Winter will help you...

  • Understand how sleep works and the ways in which food, light, and other activities act to help or hurt the process
  • Learn why sleeping pills are so often misunderstood and used incorrectly - and how you can achieve your best sleep without them
  • Incorporate sleep and napping into your life - whether you are a shift worker, a student, or an overcommitted parent
  • Think outside the box to better understand ways to treat a multitude of conditions - from insomnia to sleep apnea to restless leg syndrome and circadian sleep disorders
  • Wade through the ever-changing sea of sleep technology and understand its value as it relates to your own sleep struggles

Dubbed the "Sleep Whisperer" by Arianna Huffington, Dr. Winter is an international expert on sleep and has helped more than 10,000 patients rest better at night, including countless professional athletes. Now he's bringing his experiences out from under the covers - redefining what it means to have optimal sleep and get the ZZZs you really need.

Includes tips, tricks, and exercises.

Critic reviews

"I call Dr. Winter a sleep whisperer. Through his work with top athletes, he’s found an amazingly effective way to show that sleep can be the ultimate performance enhancer - in sports, at work, and in every aspect of our lives.” (Arianna Huffington)

“[Winter’s] well-written explanation of what sleep is and what can disrupt it shows how to make the most of the sleep you do get.” (Library Journal [starred review])

“Until I met Chris Winter, I slept like a baby: I woke every two hours and cried. Then Dr. Winter helped me develop sleep rituals that knocked me out. He was my sleep solution; this book will be yours.” (Peter Moore, New York Times best-selling coauthor of The Eight-Hour Diet and former editor of Men’s Health)

Very helpful

While I can’t use everything from this book, I can use a good portion of it. For that reason, I think it’s a great tool if one is having trouble sleeping. I’ve been working on my sleep for a couple of years now, and this put the nail in my coffin so to speak. I sleep a lot better having read this book.

Book needed more science and less opinion

Audible narration was done by someone with a very annoying southern accent.
I wanted more science and statistics and cultural references like the book “Why we sleep” and less lecturing and opinion. But the content was fine. It sounds like it came from a physician.

BEST EFFECTIVE ENGAGING SLEEP BOOK EVER

Over the past 15 months I have struggled with insomnia. My doctor prescribed Ambien. I didn’t want to get hook on it so I turned for a Natural sleep aids. I’ve tried every sleep aid and remedy you can think of. I went to therapy, sleep doctor and talk to a different internal medicine Doctor that wanted to put me on medication. None of these approaches worked for me so I continued to struggle with insomnia, until now!!!!

I’ve purchased dozens of books about sleep and sleep meditation. None of them helped me to fall a sleep and stay sleep. The Sleep Solution Book has just the right amount of humor, exercises, and it’s packed with tons of helpful content about sleep.

Most important, it works!!!!! I started listening to the audiobook and couldn’t stop, I’m glad I didn’t!!!!
Last night was the first night in 15 months that I slept over 8 hrs without using a sleep aid. Even when I use a sleep aid I sleep 5 - 6 hours. Last night, after finishing the The Sleep Solution Book I got immediate results, organic sleep!!!! Unfreaking believable!!!

I am now doing the 30 Day challenge!! I love to sleep and I am excited about sleeping again.

THANK YOU DR. WINTER!!!

Extremely helpful

My sleep issues are new; probably the last 3 months or so. My doc was quick to put me on medication after supplements didn't work but even the sleeping pills weren't always working and I didn't like the idea of taking something all the time. This book reinforced that medication wasn't a great answer and allowed me to relax about my sleep and sleep quality and I am already sleeping much better.

Great for Inquiring Minds

If you are looking for a “quick easy solution” this may not be your book. If you are searching for an understanding of sleep problems this is your book, and it’s often funny to boot! I listened to it & worked on my sleep hygiene before going to my doctor, am glad I did, & so was my doctor!

Excellent

The author has a wonderful speaking voice, and the information is everything you need to know. I recommend this book to anyone who is experiencing unhappiness with their sleep or would just like to learn more. Very enjoyable, consistent, and understandable - with a true plan for what to do to improve your sleep.
