ABOUT THE BOOK

We spend a third of our lives in bed. Doesn’t it make sense to ensure that our sleep is as deep and nourishing as possible? 

In Nobody’s Sleeping, Dr. Bijoy John illuminates the intricacies of this vital, yet often under-appreciated, state of rest. Whether one needs minor adjustments to their sleep habits or a complete overhaul, Nobody’s Sleeping offers a comprehensive step-by-step guide. 

A night of restful sleep can lead to increased productivity, energy, and happiness. Good sleep, akin to a healthy lifestyle, should be a shared goal within a family. When a child doesn’t sleep well, neither do the parents. Dr. John addresses both general and age-specific sleep challenges to improve sleep for the entire family.

Pivoting from the temporary solutions offered by sleeping pills, Dr. John champions a lasting, holistic approach to overcoming sleep obstacles.  Within these pages, he empowers individuals with proven strategies to fall asleep quickly, maintain a deep sleep, and wake up feeling fully rejuvenated. 

Transform your sleep patterns, and in doing so, transform your life.
