I liked this book but honestly it was a lot of things that I already knew through my yoga/meditation journey. In my opinion, also just being interested in this and doing a quick google search, you could get the gist of what this 182 page book is about per reading a generic article about the same thing in cosmo mag. There was a lot of good into like what poses to do and also I loved that at times the author really offered words of down-to-earth encouragement. This books started out strong by packing in a lot of info like having you ID your sleep type, personified by different animal types. This was useful because along the way, there were 'case studies' for this so you could apply your animal type to the new information she threw at you. It was a quick read, but it really didn't need to get 182 pages. It could have been 150 and it would have been better. Soft ball and intro people interested in this topic: this book is for you. People who are looking for some in-depth knowledge about the direct effect of psychological and biological influences on yoga and vice versa for improved sleep: please look elsewhere for advanced info. 3 stars/5
