Powerful
Sleep
By Kacper M. Postawski - Review
Review by Rahul Alvares
From its title,
"Powerful Sleep," you can guess, of course,
that this isn't a book on bodybuilding. It is just a book
on sleep. It is, however, one of the most powerful and
controversial books I have ever read on fitness. When
I first received Kacper's e-newsletter some months ago,
I knew he was onto something big. From the articles he
wrote, I knew his discoveries were huge. And let me tell
you now once again that "Powerful Sleep" is
one of the best books on fitness I have read ever.
"Powerful
Sleep's" relation to bodybuilding I don't have to
explain to you. Forget bodybuilding...every one on this
planet needs good sleep. No one can do without it.
We all think
that sleep happens to us automatically - I mean how complicated
could it be? You lie down on your bed and you fall asleep!
But actually none of us know anything about sleep at all.
In today's
world few of us get good sleep. Even I, who have always
considered myself a good sleeper, have actually always
had trouble falling asleep. Sometimes I'd be tossing and
turning in bed for an hour and a half before I finally
fell asleep. Getting up in the morning has always been
like waking up drugged. If I oversleep one afternoon or
morning, there goes my sleep in the night - the remaining
part of such a day, of course, will be spent wandering
around in a sleepy daze!
All this and
I ironically still considered myself a good sleeper! I
actually don't even know or have cared to find out how
much sleep my body really needs.
If you're thinking
of telling me eight hours then let me bust your brainwashed
grey cells open wide - you don't need 8 hours of sleep!
It doesn't matter how long you sleep. If you're not sleeping
right you're ruining you life. And if you are sleeping
8 hours or more but still needing more of it - then you're
definitely not sleeping right at all!
I am sorry
I have been rambling on so much. But I hope now that you
are able to relate to what I am saying.
It is now eight
days since I've read "Powerful Sleep" and have
put into practice the knowledge I have gained from it.
I must tell you I now sleep seven hours or less sometimes
(I usually slept nine or more before). I fall asleep within
ten to fifteen minutes of lying down at night. My sleep
is deep and I don't wake once until early morning. I have
more free time and most important: I never have to use
guesswork to regulate my sleep anymore!
Enough about
myself, I will just list some of the important points
dealt in the book instead. These are some of the things
you will learn about after reading "Powerful Sleep".
1. The 'eight
hours of sleep' myth and how you can actually reduce this
time greatly, getting better and more refreshing sleep
in return.
2. The different stages of sleep; brainwaves, sleep cycles,
and the five stages of sleep (deep sleep, REM, etc.)
3. The underlying systems that govern our sleep; circadian
rhythms, melatonin levels, sunlight etc.
4. increasing the quality of sleep; getting more light,
how to use sunglasses, exercise and why it is critical
for good sleep, powernaps, regular rising and sleep timings,
sleeping posture.
5. Nicotine, coffee, alcohol, and water; how they affect
sleep.
6. Insomnia, sleeping pills, sleep restriction, etc.
7. Awake and sleep system; Compromise on any one and the
other is affected!
8. Etc, etc.; and by that I mean that there is a lot more!
For example,
did you know that your feeling sleepy is actually related
to a lowering of your body temperature? Yes
contrary
to what we have been always told our temperature actually
varies from 98.6 Fahrenheit. It varies through about 3
degrees Fahrenheit every day! Increasing your body temperature
will make your sleep problems vanish, and you feel much
more refreshed in return.
Once you start
reading this book it is impossible to put it down.
Kacper has
included quite a few very interesting bonuses also with
the "Powerful Sleep" book:
1. Vivid
Dreams: this is the Vivid Dreams e-book which will
teach you the power of unlocking your shadow memories,
to remember hours of your dreams in vivid detail.
2. Night-Shift
Jet-Lag Report: This is the special report through
which you'll learn special tactics to optimize your inner
sleep clock for distant time zone travel and vigorous
sleeping schedule changes that come with working at night.
3. Lessons
from Miracle Doctors: This 144 page book written by
John Barron, included as a bonus, is probably the best
book on Health I have ever read!
I hope you
have not already been bored with the rather long review
of "Powerful Sleep" above - in which case you
are probably not reading this now - because "Lessons
from Miracle Doctors" is something you absolutely
cannot afford to miss. In fact, the book is so good that
I can't believe Barron is giving it away for free with
the "Powerful Sleep Package."
I know this
review is already too long, but it will be very wrong
of me not to include a small review of "Lessons from
Miracle Doctors" as well.
So here goes!
"Lessons
from Miracle Doctors" is a complete and comprehensive
book on cleansing the body, treating diseases the alternative
way, and improving health to its highest standards. I
won't go into the depths of anything, just take my word
for it that you will absolutely love - or hate - this
book for the honesty within. Don't miss it.
I am including
only the titles of all the chapters dealt with in this
book to give you a general idea.
1. Intestinal
cleansing, detoxification, and rebuilding.
2. Probiotics; As a result of chlorinated/ fluorinated/treated
water and antibiotics and pesticides in our food, we have
virtually eliminated an essential component of health
and well-being.
3. Enzymes; Modern man is the only animal that eats a
diet almost devoid of live enzymes. As a result virtually
every American has an enlarged pancreas by the time he/
she is forty.
4. Diet, vitamins and minerals
5. Herbs; the great herbalists don't just cure colds;
they cure cancer!
6. Free radicals and antioxidants.
7. Hormonal Balance
8. Water
9. Your mouth; A visit to your dentist could be deadly
- unless you know what to look out for. Life long mercury
poisoning with amalgam fillings and why root canals need
to be banned!
10. Cleansing your liver and Blood.
11. The immune system
12. The thought that kills
14. Exercise; move or die!
15. Energy; charge your body with the right frequencies
and you prevent disease.
16. Cancer
Let me also
include a small paragraph from the book to explain a little
more about "Lessons from Miracle Doctors": The
secret to health, the secret to all the success that the
great alternative healers share, is that they look to
raise every inch of a person's Personal Health Line. If
you do that, if you raise the entire line, the odds are
in your favor. In fact, it's almost impossible to miss!
Drawbacks:
Both books ("Powerful Sleep", and "Lessons
from Miracle Doctors") are classics. They actually
deserve five star ratings. But I am not going to give
them those for only one reason: both the books need a
little more detail with some related topics.
For example,
in the case of "Powerful Sleep," information
on yawning hasn't been included at all. A question and
answer sheet/feedback from the readers of "Powerful
Sleep" would also be great to include in the book.
I know many people, including myself, have a lot of questions
about sleep and I am sure Kacper could answer them all.
"Lessons
from Miracle Doctors" would also become more comprehensive
if it tackled issues like Lasik eye surgery, teeth health
etc.
