Hacking Insomnia: Fifty Insomnia Cures For Busy Professionals, Freelancers and Entrepreneurs

By Jonny Rose

Here’s what they forgot to mention when selling you the American Dream - all those sleepless nights.

Whether you are a startup entrepreneur, a boss at a FTSE 500 company, or a freelancer with multiple corporate clients, sleepless nights are likely to be an accepted way of life.

Nearly sixty million Americans suffer from chronic insomnia.

One in four US professionals has difficulty falling or staying asleep on most nights for at least a month.

Workers who are too sleepy to fully function on the job are costing the U.S. a whopping $63 billion in lost productivity each year.

As the boundaries between work and home blur, as the nature of modern day employment changes to incorporate side-hustles and on-demand gigs, and as the omnipresence of tablet screens in our lives grows, the rise of the sleepless night is only set to get worse.

Unless you choose to do something about it.

“Hacking Insomnia” was created for busy professionals, freelancers and entrepreneurs who know that their sleep patterns are a problem and want to take action before it gets too late.

This is not an academic book for you to mull over the complexities of “circadian disruption” or the efficacy of the “multiple sleep latency test”.

If you want to waste your lunchtime or commute learning about the more esoteric aspects of sleep - that’s what Wikipedia is for.

This book is for tired people that don’t have time to waste and just want to get results.

Inside “Hacking Insomnia” you will find fifty short, sharp, and actionable pieces of advice you can use today to make sure you get the sleep you need tonight so you can ‘crush it’ at work tomorrow.
