The Sleep Revolution was the first of Arianna Huffington's books that I read, probably because it was the first one that sought to address an issue that was relevant to me. I don't know any adult with a career and children and a spouse and etc...that can honestly admit to getting enough sleep on any given night. I was interested in how this book played out so I read with enthusiasm.
The book started out well enough, even if it was rehashing the same tried and true basic notions that getting sufficient sleep was a vital part of being healthy. I found the examples and studies interesting and felt that the book was well-researched. (Which was it's downfall, truthfully, as well.) While I appreciated all the studies and scientific facts presented, it slowed the pace of the book down for me and I found myself tuning out.
I was hoping for some tips that would help me achieve a better night's sleep and while this book offered a lot of them, none were really new or anything I hadn't already tried.
All in all, this book is an interesting read if you want a basic overview of sleep but for me it just didn't provide any really useful practical information.
Blogger Note: I received this book from the Blogging for Books program in exchange for an honest review. This review is entirely based on my opinion.
