About the Author
A propos de l’auteur
Dr. Barry Krakow started napping at age 13. Fast forward 30 years to his discovery of the cause of his own sleep problems-chronic, unrelenting physical disruption, destroying his slumber night after night. Now, after 3 more decades of clinical research and treating thousands of sleep patients, Dr. Krakow brings his wit and wisdom to his latest work, Life Saving Sleep. Pulling back the covers on long outdated conventional wisdom claiming sleep problems are fueled only by mental, psychological or psychiatric conditions, Dr. Krakow and his colleagues’ research demonstrated time again how the vast number of sleep problems involve physical changes and damage to your sleeping brain waves, preventing you from attaining continuous, deep sleep through the night. The solutions offered are clear, practical, innovative and technologically advanced.
