Product Description
Imagine an insomnia treatment that improves sleep in 100 percent of insomniacs, helps 75 percent of insomniacs become normal sleepers, and allows 90 percent of insomniacs to reduce or eliminate their use of sleeping pills. This treatment is safe, natural, and has no side effects except improved mood, higher energy, increased mind/body control, and better health. No, this is not a new miracle drug. It is Dr. Gregg Jacobs's drug-free program described in Say Good Night to Insomnia.
At Harvard Medical School's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Dr. Jacobs has tested and developed a six-week, drug-free program that conquers insomnia in a large majority of patients. The first clinician to offer proof that insomnia can be overcome without drugs, Dr. Jacobs's program provides techniques for: Eliminating sleeping pills Establishing sleep-promoting habits and lifestyle practices Changing negative, stressful thoughts about sleep Implementing relaxation and stress-reduction techniques Enhancing peace of mind and reducing negative emotions

Systematic Approach 
This book provided a good program for overcoming sleep prevention issues. It seemed a little more complicated then it needs to be, but provided some good reference material for my sleeping aid CD You are Getting Very Sleepy. This book can help those suffering from sleeplessness to gauge their progress.

Highly recommended
Until I read this book I was struggling with a recent bout of insomnia. Little did I know that I was doing everything to make it worse: trying to get to bed earlier; sleeping in late; taking long naps; ruminating before going to bed; etc. Jacobs explain clearly, by educating the reader on the physiology of sleep, among other things, how all of the above beahviors make matters worse. Within a few days of reading the book (actually before I even finished it), my sleep pattern improved sigificantly. The techniques he provides - like stress reduction, for example - are also helpful in solving other problems . If you are having problems with insomnia, this is a must read.

This book saved my life.
I cannot praise this book enough for what it has done for me. My insomnia affected me so deeply I became depressed and truly believed I was going to die.
I was using a LOT of sleeping pills to little effect and I was afraid that they would lead to more severe problems down the road. So I scoured the internet for another cure and found, "Say Good-night to Insomnia".
I'm extremely skeptical about everything, and when this book said that my it could change my negative thoughts into positive ones and help me sleep better, I didn't believe it. But I had absolutely NOTHING to lose and, out of desperation, I decided to give it a try.
I followed this book religiously (ignoring the ridiculous and useless anecdotes) and my sleep started to improve almost instantly. Before using this book I slept about two hours every night with a couple of nights of absolutely NO sleep what-so-ever thrown in here and there.
After a couple of days of using this book I found falling asleep easier (I'd fall asleep within one and a half to two hours), but I was still waking up several times throughout the night and found it difficult to fall back asleep. And I still had some nights of sleeplessness, but I was extremely excited about the small improvement.
Over the next couple of weeks falling asleep became easier and easier and I'd only have a couple of nights of insomnia during the week. But during the nights when I did get sleep my "wake-ups" became shorter and I found it easier to fall back asleep (usually within 20 to 30 minutes).
During the next month and a half the "wake-ups" themselves started to slowly subside. I'd wake up around five times a night in the beginning, then a few days later only four, and another few days later only three.
After about two months of using this book I was down to one wake-up per night. I would still have about a night or two of insomnia during the week, but not only had my sleep improved dramatically it was continuing to improve.
It has now been four months since I started using this book and I've slept soundly every night for the past five weeks (except for three days of insomnia about a week ago). I now only wake up briefly (for 5 to 10 minutes) once or twice a night. And sometimes I don't wake up at all during the night.
This book literally save my life.
If you have insomnia GET THIS BOOK!!! It absolutely works!
