I have lived with sleep issues for years. I have read many books to try to deal with these issues. THIS book really helped me. It's a program that makes sense. It's clearly laid out, and the case descriptions are particularly effective.

Sleep Reimagined: The Fast Track to a Revitalized Life” is a non-fiction book that offers a 6-step therapeutic program aimed at improving sleep, particularly for those suffering from insomnia. The author, Pedram Navab FAASM, utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) to guide readers towards better sleep within as little as 4 weeks.

Thank you so much to the Publisher for sending me a copy of this audiobook! I was really excited to read this book because I have always struggled with sleep issues. I have read this quite a few times now and I cannot express how much this has improved the quality of my sleep!

As someone who has been struggling with sleep for years, I was very interested in this book. It was a good reminder how complex sleep is and is a reminder that I'm not alone in my struggles with various sleep disorders,

This book had practical advice and tips that I hope be implement to improve my own sleep.

This book is different than what I thought it would be. I was hoping it was filled with tips and tricks you can implement to help combat insomnia. Instead it was just filled with case studies. While it was informative it wasn’t what I’d hoped for.

I have a handful of sleep disorders (yay!), mostly post-birth, some medicated (love that CPAP!) and I appreciated Pedram Navab's walking the reader through many issues and strong suggestions on how to better approach a good night's sleep. I am a champion sleeper. By this, I do not mean that I am GOOD at it, but I am happy to chase it in any corner. Navab's advice is sound and methodical and includes the typical anecdote, case narrative, and guidance.

Thank you to NetGalley, Dreamscape Media and Dr. Pedram Navab, FAASM for an early audio review copy of this book. This book outlines a six step program to help those struggling with insomnia. The author guides the reader through his cognitive behavioral therapy program for insomnia (CBT-I) with practical advice. Case studies are used to provide examples of patients dealing with a variety of sleep issues. Topics covered include understanding sleep, relaxation techniques, sleep restriction and prevention of future insomnia relapses. I found this book was both helpful and entertaining. The narrator has a pleasant voice and the narration flows smoothly. Definitely recommend this for those struggling with sleep difficulties!

I was displeased to find out this book is mostly case studies. I don't like the way it was written and found some of the language and descriptions to be upsetting in a way. I had to stop listening about halfway through, because it had ended up being very disappointing for me.

If you’re not getting enough quality sleep, and most of us aren’t, this book offers many helpful suggestions. What I love so much about this book is that rather than offering the same old sleep hygiene advice, neurologist and sleep-medicine specialist Dr. Pedram Navab provides case studies to help you understand various sleep disorders, such as advanced or delayed sleep phase disorders, sleep apnea, and restless legs syndrome. In the second part of the book, he explains his 6-step cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) program.

The book is written in a friendly and encouraging tone. In each case study, Dr. Navab describes a patient’s concerns, his diagnosis, and his recommended treatment plan. He provides the best, most thorough advice I have ever encountered for circadian rhythm problems, including sleep phase disorders and dealing with shift work.

Pete Cross did a great job with narration. He’s easy to understand, and his pacing and emphasis are wonderful. I found this audiobook interesting and informative, although I would like to obtain an ebook that I could bookmark and highlight for easier reference.

I received an advanced listener’s copy of this audiobook through NetGalley. I volunteered to provide an honest review.

This book was a little different than I thought it was going to be. However, I did learn some good info from each chapter. I struggle off and on with insomnia. Although not everything in this book applied to me, like I said, I did learn some good tips. I also learned about how CBTI can be used to help improve sleep. Thanks to Netgalley and the audiobook publisher for allowing me to listen and review this book.

Sleep Reimagined by Dr. Pedram Nevab

So, I’m a little obsessed with sleep. Unfortunately I fall into the chronic insomniac category and can’t even remember the last time I had a good stretch of solid sleep. But hey, I get a lot of reading in so it’s not all bad 😆 I’ve read my fair share of sleep related books and I’m always open to new ones so I requested this Audiobook ARC from NetGalley.

This is not your typical self-help book. While offering medical details and advice, portions of the book are told as stories; fictionalized Doctor/patient sessions where practical tools are explained and suggested; things as simple as keeping a sleep diary and scheduling your sun intake, and more in-depth therapy like sleep deprivation. It deals with issues such as panic attacks, PTSD, Restless Leg Syndrome and many more common and not-so common sleep related troubles.

There’s nothing here that was entirely new to me but I definitely appreciated the clarity of the methods along with the normalizing and empathetic tone. I love that it’s written as Sessions and not Chapters 🫶🏻 The audiobook was very well done. I

I received the early audiobook from National Geographic books and netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own.

This book gave a client based insight into how to help get more sleep. I found it more interesting this way. This was an interesting read however if someone is looking to figure out their own sleep problems it may not be the best book. I found it a good read to understand sleeping patterns and general sleep problems. I have friends who struggle with sleep and this book would give them a decent idea of where to start. However it would still be important to seek professional help. Overall an interesting read.

Sleep Reimagined is an incredibly interesting peek inside the human mind and the trips and wires of sleep. I learned more than I thought I would out of this short, easy listening experience of a book.

Thinking this would be a self help book (which it is), one might expect to hear a boring, monotone nonfictional guide, or, on the other end of the spectrum, a chipper person telling you it’s all mind over matter! Type of thing. This was nothing of the sort. Having all the medical accuracy and data I love to prove it’s theories and methods, the book also uses dictations provided by “characters” experiences. You get to see a dialogue set up between doctor and patient, and hear thinks both from the doctor’s POV, as well as the “patient’s” diaries, thought process, or other method of delivery.

The book offers several methods I am planning on using myself. Besides being an avid reader and book reviewer, I’m also a medical patient who has issues with what appears to be insomnia, mixed with some other type of sleep issue. While I also was looking for help with my dreaded sleep paralysis (mentioned but not offered solutions on), the book did offer several methods of CBTI/ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, as well as help with others issues I have like Restless Leg Syndrome. I am one who suffers trying to sleep at night, but who is ALWAYS falling asleep and needing naps. This was a way to keep my interest and like I said, based on the book, I’m going to try some methods. I’d love to get this doctor’s opinion on my particular case in real life!

Overall, I rate this book:

🌟🌟🌟🌟/5 Stars.

The only reason it falls short of 5 is I felt there was an unnecessary (and unexpected, not mentioned) amount of curse words, including 3? F bombs…

I have had insomnia for at least six years now, and I was very helpful for this book. My situation is extremely unique, and I could not find a common thread in the case studies in this book. But I do feel like the array of sleep disorders was very large, and the author addressed CBT helps for each of these issues. The narrator was very engaging! A short and worthwhile listen.
