Employers must make “reasonable adjustments” to support women experiencing menopausal symptoms. By supporting sleep, Zeez Sleep offers a means of transforming the fatigue and insomnia that characterises many women’s experience of menopause so that women can thrive through this stage of life.

You may be surprised by quite how much the quality of our sleep affects the quality of our relationships. Changing our sleep can be a powerful way to change our relationship.

Dr Guy Leschziner’s beautiful and interesting book is deserving a place on the bookshelves, not only of insomniacs, but also those who like stories, science, and want a greater understanding of the human psyche. I read it straight through, on a train from Cornwall, and was sorry when it ended. That’s a treatment I usually reserve for novels.
