Who It’s For

  • Anyone lying awake at 3 a.m. wondering, “What’s wrong with me?”

  • Partners and family who want to help (and get their own sleep back!).

  • People nervous about sleep studies or CPAP masks—Jo‑Ann makes it less scary.

  • Health‑care pros looking for a patient‑friendly handout.

Behind the Writing – Why Jo‑Ann Wrote It

“I had chronic insomnia, undiagnosed sleep apnea, and restless legs. I was exhausted, anxious, and scared. The night a sleep clinic wired me up, everything changed. My CPAP wasn’t just a machine; it was hope. I wrote this book so no one has to go through years of guessing like I did.”

This book opened my eyes

I always thought feeling tired was just part of getting older. After reading Rest Assured, I realized I might have sleep apnea. I got tested and now I sleep so much better with a CPAP. Thank you, Jo‑Ann, for sharing your story.
