Sleep Wisdom Across Time

Introduction - Why Can't We Sleep? In a world filled with noise, blue light, and psychological stress, sleep has become more of a forgotten luxury than a daily habit. People stay up late staring at their screens, their thoughts racing, and they wrestle with their pillows in search of a moment of serenity... to no avail. We suffer from insomnia, but insomnia is not a modern phenomenon. I have created a seven-chapter book to tell you what humanity has known about insomnia since the dawn of history and tried to treat it in various ways: some scientific, some traditional, some spiritual or symbolic.
In this book, we will not limit ourselves to a list of "quick sleep tips, " but will take you on a global journey across cultures to discover how people slept, what helped them relax, and how religions and civilizations treated sleep as a human and spiritual need. We will learn from the Pharaohs, the peoples of South Asia, the Arabs, Chinese medicine, East Asian traditions, religious texts, and even soldiers on the battlefield.
You'll find recipes, prayers, mindfulness exercises, environmental habits, and secrets that may seem strange, but they work! Our goal is simple: to help you return to the sleep you had as a child-fast, deep, and restful.
