What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
In the mid-80s, lo and behold I co-founded a successful all-inclusive sleep manufacturing and retail business called Good Sleep Products International. Ironic, right?
When customers started asking me for advice about their sleep problems, I felt like I knew what they were going through, and I wanted to give them answers. This was the turning point when I started educating myself about sleep habits.
In 2002, I was sent into research hyper-drive when I was beset by a significant medical problem that caused me to awaken frequently during the night. With this new condition, I desperately needed solutions that would help me fall back to sleep.
By now, I had decades of experience not just from my years in the sleep industry, but in the natural foods industry as well. That, plus my studies in Eastern practices of yoga and martial arts, led me to uncover more tips to beat insomnia.
I devoured books and articles about sleep with the same focus and determination that got me through Harvard and helped me create a dynamic business. I also combed through literature and websites for the best advice from medical experts, sleep doctors, sleep researchers and other health practitioners about how to fall asleep and stay asleep until morning.
I tried the ideas that resonated with me, giving each one enough time to work (which is exactly what I recommend you do with my book). Over time, I found the right sleep secrets for me so I could glide into sleep within minutes most nights, instead of taking 1 to 3 exhausted hours.
I began sharing this knowledge, giving advice to friends who suffered from insomnia so they, too, could fall easily and deeply asleep night after night.
And that was when a seed was planted in my now-well-rested brain.
Reading through this wealth of information I’d gathered over the decades, I realized there was no single source that offered all the answers. No single sleep expert’s message would work for everyone because each one approached sleep from their own perspective or field of research.
Valid info, yes, but that may not be the answer you need.
How could I save my fellow insomniacs not only from the frustration of long, sleepless nights, but from the hundreds of hours it can take to find the right solution — if they ever find it at all?
I knew then that I had to bring all this information together in a single, comprehensive source. That’s the only way readers could find the missing piece(s) of their unique sleep puzzle.
In Sleep Secrets, you’ll even find tips that are not widely known by experts in the field. And along the way not only will you learn a ton about sleep, you’ll also have fun doing so. I have made the book as entertaining as possible while being educational and insightful so it is not ponderous or heavy.
All you have to do is cherry-pick the techniques that resonate with you… and rejoice when you find the breakthroughs that lead to your enjoying a peaceful night’s sleep.
What are you waiting for? Start reading and experimenting, so you too can find the sleep secrets that work for you.

I Learned About Sleep the Hard Way
My insomnia began when I was very young, maybe 12 years old. I remember getting out of bed and saying, “Mom, I can’t sleep!” Little did I know this was just the start of many years of sleep deprivation.
My mom was a night owl because she too suffered from insomnia. As a kid I would get up at night to see her reading light shining under her door. Little by little, I became a night owl just like her (and even worse!), until, in my high school days, I started to rely on sleeping pills.
My Dad was a pharmacist, so it was easy to get prescription meds. Luckily, my mom was very conservative and insisted that all I needed was a quarter of a pill. Of course, this increased over time, but I fought my reliance on them because they made me so groggy in the mornings.
By my third year of university, I had to arrange my classes to begin at 2 p.m. so I could sleep in after my 4 a.m. bedtime!
But I couldn’t control my schedule like this at Harvard grad school, so I was a wreck during my 9 a.m. classes. The stress level was so high that I had to see the in-house shrink, who advised me to take up running to tire myself out physically so I could fall asleep. Guess what? It worked, and I could now sometimes fall asleep in less than an hour several nights per week.
After Harvard, I got married, launched entrepreneurial ventures and had two beautiful kids. All great stuff, but definitely a recipe for exhaustion! This did help me sleep at first, but soon I found I would get a second wind in the late evenings and I wound up stuck in my old late-night habits.
I managed to go to bed around 1 to 2 a.m. but I often spent long, long sleepless hours tossing and turning, my mind racing around business issues and plans for the cottage we were building in the country on weekends.
My Turning Point
In the mid-80s, lo and behold I co-founded a successful all-inclusive sleep manufacturing and retail business called Good Sleep Products International. Ironic, right?
When customers started asking me for advice about their sleep problems, I felt like I knew what they were going through, and I wanted to give them answers. This was the turning point where I started educating myself about sleep habits.

And that was when a seed was planted in my now-well-rested brain.
Reading through this wealth of information I’d gathered over the decades, I realized there was no single source that offered all the answers. No single sleep expert’s message would work for everyone because each one approached sleep from their limited perspective or field of research.
Valid info, yes, but that may not be the answer you need.
How could I save my fellow insomniacs not only from the frustration of long, sleepless nights, but from the hundreds of hours it can take to find the right solution — if they ever find it at all?
I knew then that I had to bring all this information together in a single, comprehensive source. That’s the only way readers could find the missing piece(s) of their unique sleep puzzle.
Doctors, sleep experts and sleep research specialists offer their advice on how to deal with sleep deprivation. However, there simply is no one-size-fits-all approach.
That’s the magic of Sleep Secrets, your complete resource guide to insights from the world of sleep … so you can find what you need to turn your unique sleep problem around. In Sleep Secrets, you’ll even find tips that are not widely known by experts in the field. And along the way not only will you learn a ton about sleep, you’ll also have fun doing so!
While the focus of the book is on how to beat sleep deprivation and insomnia, I do offer many solutions to the common problems of snoring and sleep apnea, plus special sections for the unique sleep problems of babies, teens and elders.
All you have to do is cherry-pick the techniques that resonate with you … and rejoice when you find the breakthroughs that lead to your enjoying a peaceful night’s sleep.
If you’re not clear where to start, give the sleep secrets that cost you nothing a good trial. If you’ve done that with no success, pay attention to the things that might seem a bit unlikely. One or more of them could be just the thing that will work for you.
What are you waiting for? Start reading and experimenting, so you can find the sleep secrets that work for you. I guarantee you will change your life through the “bliss of sleep.”
