News about sleep is everywhere we turn, and the statistics are numbing: Some 50-70 million Americans are affected by chronic sleep disorders and intermittent sleep problems; an estimated 30-35% of adults complain of insomnia; one in every 25 Americans takes a prescription sleep medication; more than a third of American adults don’t get enough sleep on a regular basis; sleep disorders account for an estimated $16 billion in medical costs each year, plus indirect costs due to missed days of work, decreased productivity and related factors. And questions abound: why do we need to sleep at all? What happens when we sleep? What happens to the brain? We know the brain is active when we sleep, but what about the mind? And what are dreams? An accessible and lively take on sleep, this book provides answers to those and other key questions. Along the way, it highlights the lessons a well-known neurologist has learned and what he shares with his patients on a daily basis. It discusses — in terms everyone can understand — what we know about sleep, what can go wrong with it, and what we can do to fix it. It also delves into what some of the great scientists and spiritual teachers have told us about sleep. The book is packed with useful information and suggestions that will improve all aspects of readers’ lives.

Let’s Talk About Sex (Quietly, While the Kids Sleep)
Once upon a time, your relationship was full of passionate moments, spontaneous dates, and the kind of wild energy that made you forget to lock the door. Then came the kids. And the door definitely got locked. Not to mention the conversation about sex, which now takes place in whispers and involves more discussions about bedtime routines than you ever thought possible. In Let’s Talk About Sex (Quietly, While the Kids Sleep), Fran Preston takes on the hilarious and often awkward reality of trying to maintain intimacy after kids, careers, and the constant sound of someone asking for more juice. With her trademark wit, Fran shares the struggles, the triumphs, and the quietly intimate moments that come with keeping the romance alive when your house is no longer quiet and your evenings are spent either parenting or praying for sleep. This book is the hilarious (and sometimes heartwarming) survival guide for couples who still want to talk about sex—but, you know, without waking the kids up. Fran’s insights will have you laughing out loud while also giving you the permission to be imperfectly human. Because love and intimacy don’t stop—they just get a little quieter… and maybe a bit more strategic.
