Everything we need to know about insomnia and what to do about it, 2008-01-12
I strongly recommend this audio CD to everybody who suffers from mild or intense insomnia.
I started waking up in the middle of my night sleep or towards the mornings and having difficulty getting up in the mornings quite frequently recently so I listened to this audio CD by Peter Hauri. Because I have just finished listening to it I have not yet applied the recommendations to benefit from them. There is a lot of clearly explained information about the various causes of insomnia and what to do about them, when to seek what kind of professional help etc. . The explanations are made by a highly qualified expert on the topic : Peter Hauri the Director of Mayo Clinic's insomnia program. It is more than mere information about insomnia : in addition the CD provides abundant knowledge about general health and the way it impacts the quality of sleep. Applying the advice is certain to improve not only the quality of sleep but also physical and mental health in general.
The quality of voice on the CD is high, explanations easily understandable and pleasant to listen to. The listener can listen to this CD again and again to refresh his / her knowledge when the need arises without being bored.

Good sleeping plan, 2006-03-04
This is the best book I have read yet! And it works.
I have been suffering from insomnia for 9 years and done all I cound think of to cure this problem, light therapy, lavendar, room darkening, no tv, sleep clinic all the usual. 2 years ago I began sleeping pills to function during the day.
This book has been a great source for beginning to cure the problem in very practical and solid steps. I would also recommend getting the sleep timer, it gives you an objective measure of the sleep you are actually getting. I am now averaging 5 to 7 hours of sleep a night with no sleeping pills.

Some surprising [but effective] ideas for better sleep., 2005-03-27
This is an excellent book that covers a broad range of reasons, and subsequent treatments, for insomnia. If read straight through, I imagine this book would be a bit cumbersome since it is so thorough. I found the technical information about sleep (in the introduction, but also scattered throughout various chapters where it applies) to be fascinating. But it is easy to skip to the parts that only concern you.
There are some detailed assessment quizzes, which I skipped because I had a definite idea of what was causing my insomnia (shift work, poor sleep habits, and anxiety.) But if you think there might be emotional, medical or other factors to your insomnia, the quizzes should point you in the right direction.
The advice on treatment is very interesting, not only because it seems to work, but because a lot of the ideas seem so counterintuitive (for example, if you have insomnia, spending LESS time in bed is probably a good idea. This is exactly opposite of what I was doing.) Chances are if you have insomnia, the things you are doing to help yourself sleep are probably only making it worse.
Some of the treatment ideas (particularly for improving 'sleep hygiene') might be difficult to implement at first, requiring some commitment and self-discipline, but the idea is to create a routine and good habits in the long run, so you'll be consistently getting good sleep for the rest of your life. Totally worth waking up at an hour you'd normally sleep through, or forcing yourself outside into the sunshine when you'd rather be napping.
After reading the book, for the past two nights I have actually fallen asleep within 30 minutes and slept soundly through the night. I am actually looking forward to implementing more of the treatment ideas, and I hope to kick this thing completely.
