Brandon Elijah Scott: Wild Sleep, Gebunden

Klappentext

Reap the rewards of a rested mind with this customizable sleep plan that bridges scientific nervous system insight with Western herbal wisdom. Your sleep struggle is not a personal failure---it's a predictable outcome of stress physiology, overstimulation, pain, trauma, hormonal shifts, and a culture that keeps the nervous system in a constant state of vigilance. Author Brandon Elijah Scott is a multigenerational professional herbalist who has lived with insomnia, taught thousands of students, and supported over a thousand clients. In Wild Sleep , Scott delivers the answer to one of the most persistent problems in modern health: "How do you build real rest in a world that will not slow down?"

Featuring 31 sleep-focused herbal profiles and over 50 recipes for teas, tinctures, topicals, aromatics, and more , Wild Sleep is your go-to sleep manual for modern exhaustion. First, you'll discover how sleep actually works and identify the pattern of your sleep struggles. Then, based on your specific pattern, follow a step-by-step guided framework to shape a sleep sanctuary, build evening rhythms, and safely harness Western herbal medicine as part of a long game for rest.

If you can't even think straight because you're so exhausted---never fear. This book's clear organization, quick-reference guides, and simple steps are designed for tired and groggy minds. And its compassionate, inviting plain-English explanations will make circadian biology, stress physiology, and nervous system regulation easy to understand.

There are three most common sleep-struggle patterns that you might be dealing with:

• When You Can't Turn Off: Your mind can't stop running as you think about everything that still needs to get done
• **The 3 a. m. Club:**When you fall asleep, but wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep
• Always Tired, But Never Rested: When you think you've slept the whole night through but still wake up exhausted

Once you've identified your dominant sleep pattern, find a grounded strategy, clear boundaries, and realistic expectations toward better sleep. No matter what season you're going through---pregnancy and postpartum, perimenopause and menopause, aging, grief, or illness---the scope extends across the full arc of life, so you can return and adapt your routines again and again.
