When talented concert pianist Caleb Montgomery returns to his hometown of Chicago for a concert series, his life is upended by a vibrant, beautiful cellist named Rylen. Faced with confronting his physical and emotional demons or allowing the woman of his dreams into his heart, Caleb struggles with the value of life and the sentence of death. At Caleb’s side is his brother, Dominic, whose own life is spiraling quickly out of control.

Seeking peace but met only with unspeakable anguish, each must face daunting decisions that will shape the future. “Sleep Sweet” addresses the heart-wrenching effects of disease and death as it interweaves the stories of a man succumbing to the horrors of illness and the brother who fights to keep him alive. Even as they struggle to survive, their lives are changed by the women strong enough to break down barriers and win their hearts. The result is a moving eulogy—a story of love and grief that strikes at the heart of the human condition.

Book Description
There is so much information on sleep out there and yet people still can’t get good sleep. Why is this? And equally important, how can we definitively change this? Let’s consider some issues missing or won’t find often or at all in the sleep advice world: ① Most if not all sleep expert information simply will disregard or brush by this area of fluctuating sleep cycles that don’t need to be fixed but worked with. I am suggesting it is worthy to explore different sleep schedules. Perhaps you go with the flow of your own body’s cycle instead of trying to conform to ill-informed societal standards instead. And ② Mind and specifically spirit are often ignored, minimized, or dismissed when it comes to explaining sleep’s purpose, the reason for dreams and overall human health. ③ The term “sleep hygiene” is being used wrongfully to describe what we really need and that is the power of sensory-fueled rituals that gently brings us to the state most conducive to deep, quality, and restorative sleep. Your Sleep Sweet Spot is a sleep routine, ritual, space design, schedule, and philosophy that implements bio-individuality. It provides you the best, most restorative sleep, optimal restoration, balance, and vital energy for your unique sleep cycle—nocturnal, diurnal, or alternative shift sleeper. It considers your specific physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. It also considers environmental, technological advances, and global interconnection, using what works and upgrading it to adjust with ongoing changes.★ Why are we experiencing so many problems associated with this essential need? These could range from chronic exhaustion, nightmares, sleep apnea, pain, insomnia, sleep paralysis, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, inflammation, pain, cancer, mental impairments, mood disorders, increased accidents, emotional distress, pre-mature aging, and many more diseases and effects we are only discovering today. The core of my contribution to this work on sleep is that a person’s requirements for restorative sleep are as unique (bio-individual) as their DNA or fingerprint. Every guideline, suggestion, or technique has to be customized to your very unique need. Millions of people who need more sleep, while some can function with less sleep, and others need to break up their sleep cycle, for one reason or another, are left to flail because a) We are getting useless one-fits-all advice and information on sleep that isn’t working; b) And we feel as if we are doing something wrong, experiencing judgment from professionals, family, and society as a whole. This is not a body of work that gives you techniques that will provide you with a normal sleep schedule. This is because sleep is specific to each person, there is no such thing as normal when it comes to sleep. This is a project that helps you find your unique Sweet Sleep Spot. ★To find your sweet sleep spot, you need to know more about what sleep and dreams are, why you need them, and how to design your own sleep life with the right information and tools.◆ This work is my contribution to this cause to the awakening power of sleep and dreams. It includes personal experiences, research, theories, intuitive and philosophical introspection. Let’s see what we know about sleep and dreams and upgrade it to work better.
