Based on knowledge accumulated over almost two decades as a sleep researcher, Professor Alice Gregory shares real-life stories and interviews with other sleep experts to find the answers to questions, such as: Why do so many teenagers enjoy sleeping on the weekends? Why do children experiencing anxiety, behavioral problems or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder so often have co-occurring sleep problems?

    The quality of the books description was very accurate. The purchase price of the book was very reasonable and the shipping costs were normal for standard international shipping rates to Australia from the USA. The packaging was excellent to ensure no damage to the books during its international journey. Good communication with the seller ensured all my questions were answered in a timely manner.

    An outstanding transaction in every manner! The condition was better than described, the value was great, the shipping was quick and well packaged! Packaging was way better than Amazon. I am going to terminate my book purchases as they arrive with covers bent and bent and bumped corners. They look like seconds!,
