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.

“Dr. John’s book on sleep is an excellent resource that transcends for both patients and medical professionals. Nobody’s Sleeping is the result of his extensive experience and knowledge in sleep medicine. The journey of his own difficulties with sleep adds a personal touch.”
–Preetha Rosen, MD, DABPN, DABSM Sleep Specialist, Gritman Sleep Center, Moscow, ID
“God made our bodies to recover and sleep. Dr. Bijoy John understands the physical, spiritual, and mental need for restorative rest in a 24/7 world. Anyone who wants to sleep and stay asleep needs Nobody’s Sleeping. It is easy to understand and practical for children, teens, and adults who need sleep. His research tells us why we need to turn off our phones at night and why we do not feel rested during the day. The “why” was most important to me to convince myself that I don’t have a sleep problem. I have a schedule problem. The research alone is worth the price of the book! With anxiety and depression on the rise, this is a great resource for parents to help their families find the rhythm of restorative rest.”
