After teaching ESL and coauthoring a pair of textbooks, Lois Maharg switched careers to become a journalist, reporting on Latino affairs, education, health, exercise, and food. Eight years ago she set out on a quest to explore insomnia, a lifelong nemesis. Along the way she visited sleep clinics, researchers, therapists, conferences, and fellow insomniacs, and she documents the journey in her new book. The Savvy Insomniac is also the name of her blog, dedicated to sharing new information about insomnia and sleep.
