The Sleep Revolution: Beyond Rules and Gadgets
Imagine waking up feeling genuinely refreshed, with no memory of checking the clock throughout the night. This isn't a fantasy-it's the natural state of sleep that Dr. Jade Wu helps us reclaim in "Hello Sleep." Unlike conventional approaches treating sleep as an engineering problem to be solved with strict rules and expensive gadgets, Wu offers something revolutionary: rebuilding our relationship with sleep as we would with a friend. In a world where approximately 24.5 million American adults battle insomnia (fueling an $81.2 billion sleep aid industry), Wu's evidence-based approach cuts through the noise. Sleep isn't something to be controlled or optimized like a factory process-it's a natural, pleasurable experience that we've forgotten how to enjoy. Through cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), Wu guides us back to this fundamental truth, challenging our industrial-era notions about rest and productivity.
