The Rogue Librarian's Guide to Sleep
Fall Asleep in 2 Minutes Tonight--Real Help for Insomnia
from a Rogue Librarian
Tired of lying awake at 2 a.m. wondering if you’ve forgotten how to sleep? You’re not broken—you just need a better guide.
In The Rogue Librarian’s Guide to Sleep, Will Swartz (rogue researcher, reluctant insomniac, and lover of good naps) dives deep into the science, myths, and madness surrounding sleep—and surfaces with real answers. This isn't another dry textbook or fluffy self-help manual. It’s a smart, practical, occasionally hilarious toolkit to help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling human again.
Inside, you’ll discover:
Why most sleep advice backfires—and what actually works How to reset your brain’s “sleep switch” (no blue light goggles required) A 5-step nighttime routine that trains your body to crave sleep What scents, foods, and sneaky habits can help or hurt your rest The Military Method that puts you to sleep faster than you can say "REM cycle"
Plus: Free companion tools like sleep trackers, routines, scent experiments, and a Sleep Toolkit to make this transformation stick (no chanting or goat yoga required).
If you’re ready to stop counting sheep and start getting real sleep, grab this book. Your brain—and your sanity—will thank you.
Sleep isn’t a mystery. It’s a skill. And it’s time you mastered it.
About Will Swartz
Will Swartz lives in Canton, MI with his wife, Kate, in a riverside Cape Cod house, where River Deer and other wildlife regularly stop by to distract him as he writes. They have five children (none of whom is a wild child burden on society or living in their basement) and eleven, twelve, thirteen grandchildren. Will has worked as a teacher, coach, librarian, school administrator, trainer, and salesman. He is a pathological storyteller and makes stuff up all the time. Will is currently the Creative Projects Director for Will Swartz Enterprises, LLC. He made up the title so he would no longer be retired and could have a job that described what he loves doing. His main duties are thinking up cool stuff to do next, keeping the wastebaskets on all three floors of the estate empty, and guarding his antique porcelain door knob collection.
