Sleep Disruptors explores often-overlooked factors that sabotage sleep, like blue light exposure from screens, caffeine consumption, and unmanaged stress. These disruptors impact not only how rested we feel, but also our cognitive function and physical recovery.

The book presents the latest research, showing how these elements interfere with the body's natural sleep-wake cycle and crucial restorative processes, such as memory consolidation and hormonal regulation.

The book begins by establishing a foundational understanding of sleep architecture before contrasting modern habits with our biological needs. Individual chapters are then dedicated to each disruptor, providing actionable strategies for mitigation. For example, it offers practical tips for managing blue light through screen filters and lighting adjustments, and explores stress-reduction techniques, such as mindfulness meditation.

Ultimately, Sleep Disruptors culminates in a comprehensive sleep optimization plan, integrating strategies for managing each of the identified disruptors. With its proactive and practical approach, the book empowers readers to implement immediate changes to improve sleep quality, cognitive performance, and overall well-being.
