Great book. First program to ever help my insomnia. by Heather

I've been reading this book for the past month or so and following the instructions regularly and it's been a great experience. Not only do I understand more about insomnia and sleep in general, but I've had my first full night of sleep without a sleeping aid in five years! It's really great to have a doctor break the issues of sleep-disorder, anxiety and dependency on sleep-aids into simple terms and offer practical steps to recover from sleepless nights. I'm looking forward to completely tapering off the sleeping pills and restoring my sleep to normal. Great book!

Nothing New in This Book. by David Goodman (Detroit-area, MI)

This is information that I've heard before. Nothing new. There are only 10 pages in the book that are actually useful. You're better off buying the book "No More Sleepless Nights." It's much more informative, comprehensive, well-written and useful than this book.

If this information works for anyone they don't have insomnia by Karen M. Quinn (Nashville, TN)

Old information, relaxation techniques have been around for thirty years and a thousand if a person practices yoga, additionally, the diary and other recommended activities focuses a person's mind on their inability to sleep thereby reenforcing this condition. If this is the best treatment available for people with insomnia, one of the most pervasive conditions in the country then there is not a lot of hope for people with chronic insomnia. The positive and negative sleep thoughts this book spends so much time on and states can change chronic insomnia by mentally repeating positive statements before going to sleep or when waking up at 2 AM are utter crap. This book was prescribed by a doctor at the Vanderbilt Sleep Clinic; I'm canceling my next appointment.

Definitely useful by music matters (Santa Barbara, Ca.)

As there is no question that anxiety is a primary cause of sleep problems/insomnia, this book can be of great assistance. I'm very glad I have it, as a tool for use both now and in the future.

Read this book before you take another sleeping pill by S. Walker

I was referred to this book by people in Internet discussion groups who had been struggling with chronic insomnia for long periods and were not getting relief from sleeping pills and had success utilizing the recommendations from this book. I found the author to be very credible given his background and professional experience doing working at sleep research clinics. This book provides background information on the physical, environmental and psychological factors that contribute to insomnia and offers concrete recommendations for how to address them. I knew sleeping pills were not a healthy approach and became less effective over time. This book provides a whole section on the subject and explains that sleeping pills actually don't promote sleep at all, they are amnesiacs, so you just don't remember that you were awake! The thing that surprised me the most was the physical or biological factors that contribute to insomnia. I had no idea the important role that body temperature played in the sleep cycle and that the common things that people normally do when they are short on sleep (ex: go to bed early to try and get a good night's sleep or sleeping in to recover from lost sleep) are actually working against them. I also did not appreciate that people can fully function on reduced sleep and strategies I could take involving getting enough sunlight and exercise to help. This book was very informative and I am successfully using these techniques to reduce my insomnia without having to be reliant on sleeping pills. I would recommend this book for people that are struggling with chronic insomnia and are looking for a healthy, natural approach for resolution.
