Mark Stephens (1) (1958–)

In Yoga for Better Sleep: Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Science, Mark Stephens gives some great information and some excellent advice! He starts his book by telling about what a good night’s sleep is and why it is important. He also talks about the stages that we go through as we sleep. Then, he goes on to describe the various sleep disorders that people may complain about. Finally, he suggests some hows and whys of how to accomplish effective and satisfying sleep. He presents yoga postures and breathing techniques that are, indeed, effective. He even modifies the asanas for those who cannot perform due to old age, restrictions, or poor balance. He concludes by discussing how sleep patterns change throughout our lives.

This is an informative and very interesting book. If the reader followed his advice, there would be an improvement in the quality of sleep.
