FOREWORD BY DR SOPHIE BOSTOCK

'29th June
0 HOURS, 0 MINUTES
Eleven forty-seven pm. A door slams as the neighbour's teenage son comes home from the pub. An hour later, the last Tube rumbles past and I thump my pillow over to find a cool spot. I refuse to open the window because of my fear of hearing the first bird of morning, confirmation that the next day is about to start and I have failed, yet again. Failed in my quest to sleep, which one would think is a basic human right.

But I am not a POW whose captors breach the Geneva Convention. No one has stolen my sleep from me. I am not wired up to electrodes, a neon light is not shining in my face all night long. I have blackout blinds and a king-size bed all to myself. My enemies are my brain and a body that has forgotten how to shut down.'

After a single, catastrophic event, journalist Miranda Levy had one sleepless night, then another, and then another. She sought help from anyone she could: doctors, a therapist, an acupuncturist, a hypnotist, a reiki practitioner and a personal trainer - but nothing seemed to work.

Sleep, wellbeing and mental health are intrinsically linked. Yet sleeplessness is surprisingly common: 16 million of us suffer from insomnia, and the sleep industry is worth £100 billion (Daily Mail).

In The Insomnia Diaries, Miranda Levy tells the story of her experience of severe, disabling insomnia that affected every aspect of her life for years, and how she ultimately recovered. Part memoir, part reportage, this book will help anyone who struggles to get a good night's sleep - whether occasionally or all of the time - appreciate the issues and understand the options as they find their best way to get the rest they need. Dr Sophie Bostock, scientist, sleep expert and member of the team who developed the award-winning digital programme Sleepio, contributes a foreword. She and a host of expert contributors have advised on the medical elements within the text throughout.

For anyone unable to sleep, who is desperate for a good night’s sleep, who has panicked when the bedside clock moves remorselessly from 1am to 3am to 5am and sleep still hasn’t come, The Insomnia Diaries: How I learned to sleep again, is for you. And if you sleep well it’s also a really good read.
This book is not only full of advice from sleep experts, it’s also the story of a woman unable to sleep for almost a decade, and the devastating impact it had on her health, her work and her life – and how she then turned her life around.
Miranda Levy’s diary of how she learned to sleep again is at times distressing, but she manages to weave humour into some of her darkest moments.
Informative and inspiring and relatable, this book is full of warmth, and insight. Highly recommended.

5,0 su 5 stelle At last someone who tells it like it is about insomnia
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 2 luglio 2021

When I read about this book I knew I had to get a copy. I have had my own rollercoaster ride with insomnia (coincidentally at the same life stage as the author) and was interested to read this personal story, although it does include a lot of other information from sleep experts and doctors. It fully brings to life the sheer horror of not sleeping, how debilitating it can be and how it robs you of your personality and purpose, while sucking all the joy from life. It is not just a few bad nights, or a bit of anxiety that can be calmed by warm milk and a hot bath before bed. It is a severe mental health issue.

That said, my own experience with benzodiazepines has not been the same as Levy's and I would like to put the other side of the story. In my case they were life savers and the only thing I found to 'cure' me. If used properly and under medical supervision they can be a really useful tool to battle insomnia and anxiety. I did find it a little frustrating that this was another horror story about addiction and the negative side of these drugs. However, it is always useful to be informed and to understand what can go wrong.

The book is a fascinating insight into those gritty eyed hours of despair at 4am on the umpteenth night you have been awake while everyone else is asleep. And the crazy thoughts a lack of sleep engenders. I so identified with her fear that a general anaesthetic wouldn't work on her, as I felt exactly the same way before I had surgery while suffering from insomnia (spoiler alert - it does still work!).

Ironically, it kept me awake at night as I wanted to find out what happened!

5,0 su 5 stelle Funny, absorbing, and informative

This book is witty, engaging and informative, and I really felt for the author as she describes her 10 years of sleeplessness. She tries every kind of therapy she can get, and is given any number of different pills, but nothing will help her to sleep. The book includes interviews and input from doctors, psychiatrists and sleep specialists, and their contributions really help you to understand the complexity of the problem, though they don’t come anywhere near to solving it. My impression is that sleep science is still a new field of study, and the book does not provide any definite ‘answers’ for insomniacs, but it does provide some advice on what not to do, as we follow Levy’s absorbing story of her ups, downs and absolute pits. In a way, the book is yet another demonstration of the way in which women’s health problems are often not taken seriously by doctors (for more on this, read ‘Invisible Women’, by Caroline Criado Perez). If you are struggling with insomnia this book won’t ‘fix’ you, but it will give you something interesting to read in the small hours, and you won’t want to put it down.

Miranda tells her story like the true warrior queen she is; unashamedly (rightfully so) leaving no dark abyss unfallen into, yet no hanging rope unclimbed... she takes us through the horrors of insomnia; her account of escaping this seemingly-hopeless infliction is written with devastating honesty and charm, feistiness and warmth (namely toward those who enriched and supported her). Thank you Miranda, for sharing your story with us, for just being yourself, and for vanquishing this horrendous illness so bravely.

Insomnia is an insidious condition, affecting everything in your life and this author knows that better than most. I heard her on the radio and was struck by how much she knew, for a non-medical person - she has obviously done a lot of research, and how much she had gone through. This book is both a brilliant book to help those suffering understand what's happening to them and give them solutions that will work, and a victory salute for someone who has come through the other side of an extreme bout with bad mental health, learned to live again and still be herself on the other side. Funny and moving.
