As someone who has struggled with chronic insomnia since childhood, I know just how frustrating it is. I conceived of a graphic guide that will help create a deeper understanding of why so many of us in the industrialized world struggle with this condition, what our ancestors and communities around the world have done (and do) to sleep well, and how we can use some of those ideas to promote better rest.
I am asking for your support as I research and develop this book. Along the way, I will offer some awesome perks that I hope will already inspire better rest.
First, I am creating a deck of original, beautifully illustrated cards that contain some tips and techniques you can try. You can pre-order your lovely boxed set, or multiple sets as gifts!
Other perks include custom mugs, prints, and a mini-comic.
Please stay tuned!

Allow me to dedicate the time and energy needed to make this book truly excellent!

Support me as I research, draw and write about several methods (hypnosis, playing the didgeridoo, meditation, Western herbalism, and more) that are thought to help promote better rest and sleep.
-
Enable me to create supplementary materials and exciting products along the way to share my discoveries with you and help you sleep better!
Good Sleep is essential for a long, healthy life…
…while INSOMNIA is linked to a Pandora's box full of ailments—from obesity, heart disease, and cancer to depression and dementia.
Why do I—and a quarter of people in the industrialized world—suffer from chronic insomnia? Why can’t we sleep? Why has insomnia been called “the woefully ignored Cinderella of medicine”?
I've struggled with this beast, Insomnia, since early childhood. Here I am as an infant in Germany, wide awake and performing a forensic examination of the contents of a wastebasket.
Sleepless Planet is the story of my lifelong quest for more
restful nights, and a look at time-honored methods used by people
around the globe who value(d) sleep, rest, and dreams. Here I am, at
age five, doing fieldwork in France.
There's no magic cure-all for insomnia…
…but lots of different approaches and good
habits that add up to better nights and brighter days.
With your support, this book will see the light of day,
and I will share many tips & tricks with you along the
way,
all in the comics form, of course!
