Not so much a question as a comment...then my question... I'm on Ch 5, and excited for the rest of the book. My sleep quality has tanked over the last year. So much so, that I 'even' gave up alcohol for 30 days a couple months ago. Helped, but not a magic bullet. (Whew!) Also, thank you for not sucking as a narrator :) Many authors can't get away with that! Did you enjoy the process of narrating your book?

I travel a lot for work, so I fell into a rhythm of writing a things I wanted my patients to know or think about once they left my office. The document grew and grew over the years. Fortunately an agent (not knowing I had written so much) thought I should write a book based upon some other media writing I had done.

If by narrate, you mean that you are listening to the audio book (which is me reading the text), I have to say I don't like listening to my voice, particularly "ch-" and "sh-" sounds. I enjoyed the process, but think if I could have gotten James Earl Jones to read it, I should have gone in that direction. The book is personal to me...I put a lot of myself into it, so I felt like I should read it.

I'm glad you like the book, and I appreciate you taking the time to say hello and give me some feedback. I hope the second half of the book lives up to the first 5 chapters.

Congrats to you for giving up the alcohol. That's not an easy thing to do for some, but it can help many with their sleep.

Again, thanks for not sucking as a book reviewer. If you ever find yourself on Amazon, I would sincerely appreciate a review. They mean a lot to me!

Have a great holiday AF!

Sincerely,

Chris(less)

What books are on your summer reading list this year?

W. Chris Winter's Blog: The Sleep Solution

The Hidden Sleep Crisis in Kids and Teens

Forgive me Goodreads...I've been gone for a while. I'm back.

What have I been doing? Seeing patients, raising some kids, wearing masks...probably similar things that you've been doing.

The seeing patients thing has changed in this new pandemic (hopefully post-pandemic world). Instead of seeing patients in person, our clinic is now 100% virtual. That's not the only change we've seen in the clinic. Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by W. Chris Winter (?)

“Sleep is not the absence of wakefulness. In other words, sleep is not a light switch in your brain that is either on or off. Your body is doing amazing things at night while you sleep.”
