A great collection of useful tips

If you have been struggling with getting a good night's sleep, give this a listen. There are several things here that I will be trying.

A home run

Excellently read. Many useful strategies. I am a lifetime insomnia sufferer and several of the strategies are helpful. Excellent organization and presentation of the strategies. Highly recommend.

Prescriptions for Sleep

This book has practical strategies for overcoming insomnia. The author explains each step. It is a hopeful book which encourages those suffering from insomnia.

Excellent

Liked the CBT-I approach and recognition of possible benefits of Buddhist-derived techniques, such as body scan and mindfulness meditation. Interesting thoughts about sleep restriction as a way of getting control of when to sleep and for how long. Positive psychology ideas (eg gratitude lists, exercise, social networking) also nicely discussed. Makes a convincing case that cure is feasible with practical and feasible behavioral changes. Good insight into when to seek help from professionals and what sort of self-help projects might be worthwhile. Sorry to say getting a sufferer to keep proper records and self-help to a cure might be a tall order. But that does not mean the book’s prescription is less than state of the art. Thankfully the approach is balanced, with plenty of reliance on findings from Western medicine as well as things like yoga, Tai Chi and Qigong. Properly distinguishes sleep from sedation with alcohol or Ambien.

This book is a must is you have insomnia and gives wonderful strategies on how to beat it naturally without meds, however if you have depression or anxiety she does mention you should address that with your doc in junction with the strategies she offers.

Need the book. Too many lists/tasks for narrative presentation. Content would be beneficial for insomnia relief but need to follow written directions
