Kate Mikhail is an integrative psychotherapist and a sub-clinical cognitive behavioural hypnotherapist, specialising in insomnia. Kate is also a journalist and editor, who has written a wide range of features and reviews for the Guardian, Observer, Telegraph and Independent national newspapers, as well as for many other publications.After decades of not being able to sleep easily at night, a chance reading of a book by her Irish great-great-uncle Richard Waters, a pioneer in cognitive therapy and clinical hypnosis, led to the discovery that she was officially a chronic insomniac. A love of research, science and a fascination with the mind-body loop, drove Kate to find evidenced-based answers for why sleep deprivation can be such a problem for so many people in the 21st century, and what can be done to put this right.Kate is now an ex-chronic insomniac and a sleep coach, thanks to researching Teach Yourself to Sleep and trying out everything she learnt on herself along the way. In this book, she explores the biology and science of sleep, how to look at sleep from a different perspective and how we can shift our physiology, behaviour and mindset to transform the quality of our sleep, 24-hour health and overall quality of life. Kate lives in London with her husband and three children.

Sleep problems are one of the scourges that seem to have resulted
from our modern, hectic and often stressful lives. Like so many
modern afflictions there is no single cause and no 'one size fits
all' remedy. Consequently, it is important for the sufferer to
understand the problem better so that they can learn how best to
manage it for themselves. This book by Kate Mikhail is a nice easy
read which should help people to cope with this problem which can
ruin the lives of the those who battle against it night after
night.
