Would you like to get more sleep, fall asleep faster, or lose weight? Yes, lose weight! Looking for a good reason to get more quality rest? Look no further than Sleep Away the Pounds by Cherie and John Calbom. More than a weight loss book, this work instructs you in the restorative powers of sleep, teaches relaxation methods, provides sleep strategies for improving your sleep, and details a menu plan that tells you not only what to eat, but when to eat it. Peppered with interesting facts and written in a straightforward, positive, and easy to read style, this book offers great incentives to get more sleep. Sweet dreams!
