Gold Medal Sleep

The Everyperson’s Guide for Restful Nights, Energetic Days, and a Healthy Life

It’s time to go deep on sleep. 

Our society is packed with screens, deadlines, late-night shopping, and the ubiquitous blue light. As a result, solid sleep is now seen as a hoped-for instead of a must-have. In this refreshing, conversational resource, behavioral sleep specialist Dr. Brad Wolgast makes clear why modern living wrecks our rest and shows how simple changes can revive your built-in sleep signals.

Through relatable personal accounts, such as his struggle with sleep apnea and a life-changing car accident when he fell asleep at the wheel, case studies of people he’s helped from all areas of life, and up-to-date research, Dr. Wolgast brings clarity, compassion, and humor to a topic that affects literally all of us.

Gold Medal Sleep offers achievable, affordable steps anyone can apply to get more restful nights. Whether you aim for a gold medal or can reap benefits with silver or bronze levels of sleep, Dr. Wolgast has three levels of sleep plans for you to choose from. Each includes small changes that can awaken your body’s natural rhythm and invite you to be your best self—energized, thinking sharply, and fully charged.

At the center of the book is “camping in,” a flexible approach to getting back your evenings. This isn’t a clinical sleep-disorder manual; it’s an easy-to-use field guide for finding solutions to overcome the disordered habits our modern world has created. You’ll discover when to shun screens, when to access blue light, and even how to use caffeine strategically.

Whether nighttime is a constant source of dread or you just need an occasional tool to help get better shut-eye, Gold Medal Sleep is your dream come true.
