About
Putting Trauma to Sleep explores the powerful connection between trauma and sleep — and why so many people struggle with insomnia, nightmares, or restless nights that never improve. Written by experts in sleep medicine and psychiatry, the book breaks down how trauma keeps the nervous system stuck in survival mode and offers simple, science-based tools to restore rest. We share actionable insights, real-world stories, and strategies that help people heal the root cause of chronic sleep problems.
