The Sleep Fix: Practical, Proven, and Surprising Solutions for Insomnia, Snoring, Shift Work and More
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
From renowned ABC News anchor/correspondent and former insomniac Diane Macedo, comes a practical, user-friendly guide to getting better sleep. The Sleep Fix flips the switch on common advice, illuminating the reporter's relentless search for how to get a good night's sleep and the surprising, scientific, and practical solutions she found along the way.
Roughly thirty percent of the population is estimated to be living with insomnia, while many more unknowingly suffer from other sleep disorders. In The Sleep Fix, Macedo aims to change that with perspective-shifting research and easy-to-implement solutions based not just on science and experts, but also her own years-long struggle.
As an early-morning reporter and overnight news anchor, Macedo learned the hard way how valuable sleep is, and how it affects everything from our heart to our brain to our immune system. The longer Macedo struggled, the more her health deteriorated. Desperate, she tried standard sleep tip after standard sleep tip, but nothing worked - instead, it made her worse.
Finally, after developing a tolerance to sleeping pills, Macedo decided to attack the problem as a journalist, interviewing sleep experts from all over the world to get to the bottom of what really keeps us from sleeping—and the various ways to fix it.
As Macedo explains, the solution to catching zzz's isn't as simple as giving up caffeine, or putting away your phone before bed. With her down-to-earth explanations and humor, she instead teaches us how to:
Most importantly, Macedo — a busy, working mom — teaches us how to adjust and fit these solutions into our everyday lives. Offering expert wisdom, cutting-edge research, intimate sleep stories from public figures, and actionable advice, The Sleep Fix is the tell-it-like-it-is guide this sleep-deprived world has been waiting for.

October 18, 2021
“There’s plenty you can do right now at home, to help you get better sleep,” writes ABC News anchor (and former insomniac) Macedo in her comprehensive debut on solving sleep problems. “Different sleep issues... require different solutions,” she writes, and begins with summaries of common sleep disorders including insomnia, circadian rhythm disorders, sleep apnea, and restless leg syndrome. She then digs into advice for shaping up one’s sleep habits, environment, and schedule (especially helpful for shift workers). Macedo recommends keeping a sleep diary, outlines vitamins that help with sleep (magnesium, D, and B6 among them), and breaks down the ideal bedroom temperature (rather than a certain number, the best bet is to keep it cooler than the rest of the house). She also advises on meal timing and technology use (night-time modes on phones and TVs are a good idea), and provides some relaxation exercises. Macedo’s guide is jam-packed with information—so much so that readers may experience a bit of overload and wish for chapter summaries to keep it all straight. Still, those struggling with sleep are sure to find this a valuable resource.
