If you ask a Finn, they will likely be as baffled as you are. That’s why Melanie Dower, an expat who has been living in Finland for the past decade, has taken up the charge. Her vantage as an outsider entrenched in Finnish culture uniquely positions her to identify the keys to Finnish happiness that elude the rest of the world and that Finns take for granted. From sauna to strong social safety nets, Finnish life is made up of a constellation of habits and structures that leave its residents relaxed, healthy, and fulfilled.

Although clinical research has been conducted on narcissism as a disorder, less is known about its effects on victims who are in toxic relationships with partners with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Individuals with this disorder engage in chronic devaluation and manipulation of their partners, a psychological and emotional phenomenon known as "narcissistic abuse". Unfortunately, the full extent of what narcissistic abuse entails is not taught in any psychology class or diagnostic manual.

Painful narration
I wanted to buy this as a Kindle book and just read it, but it wasn't available. Decided to try the audiobook instead. The material is interesting, but the publishers should have found someone besides the author to read it.

I've Never Slept Better
Would you consider the audio edition of Sleep to be better than the print version?
Nick Littlehales speaks very slowly, so as long as you speed up the playback to about 1.30 it's perfect. Otherwise I think it would be too slow, and you might fall asleep.
What did you like best about this story?
That it helped me sleep better immediately! I started doing some of the things Nick suggested and they work like a charm, plus they just make sense. Obvious as they are most everyone I know doesn't utilize these ideas.
What about Nick Littlehales’s performance did you like?
I liked that he spoke clearly and he obviously knew what he was talking about. His anecdotes were interesting as well. Like I said though, he speaks too slowly for me, so I sped it up to 1.3 and it was fine.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Nope, I liked listening to it in the morning after I woke up. It helped me get over the stress of a bad night's sleep, and plan and implement better nights going forward.
Any additional comments?
There is a lot of sleep books coming out these days, I think this is an excellent primer and probably one of the best you could by. It's not too long, and it gets to the point quickly with fast results if you follow the advice.

It really opened up my mind concerning the subject of sleeping and the right way to take advantage of my recovery and rest hours.I think it is a really important matter that everyone should learn about and adjust it into their lives.

Not the best book on sleep
Does not focus on or mention science. The author seems to base his claims mostly on personal experience as a sleep coach. The narration is bad. For a better book on sleep, read 'why we sleep', by Matthew Walker.

Some good tips, but descends into nonsense
There are some tips on here that will make a difference instantly. My sleep has hugely improved with the basic and common sense approach.
However, once you get past that, the book just feels like filler and a sales ad for Nick's special bed. The emphasis on sport is also a little grating and sometimes the name dropping is pointless.
Most importantly though, the narrator is dreadful. Is intonation makes no sense with sentences having random pauses halfway through them for no reason.
