It is a difficult program to stick with as it involves sleep restriction and you will be very, very tired, especially for the first few days. You also need to be This book is more than just a list of sleep hygiene techniques, which was very refreshing. You also need to be diligent as it involves maintaining a strict sleep schedule and keeping track of your sleep.

However, she provides the sleep diary for you and it takes a quick minute to fill out each morning, so its not time-consuming.

This book is a very good addition to the lay literature on an all too common sleep problem. Judith Davidson has written a concise workbook for conquering insomnia based on her professional experience and extensive research. Her straightforward approach is refreshing. The basic approach is to keep a sleep diary so that the reader can define her current habits, then map out a therapy program that will lead to solid sleep habits. It seems to be simple enough that anyone can do it.

It does not involve exotic practices, expensive mattresses, special lights or medications. The author highlights medical conditions such as apnea, depression, or SAD and provides clear advice on whether the therapy could be useful in conjunction with competent care under a physician.

If you have problems sleeping, get your hands on "Sink into Sleep," by Judith R. Steal it if you have to! As I've gotten older, I no longer am able to sleep eight hours or more a night. The days when I was a teen-ager and could sleep twelve hours or more seem like a beautiful, unreal dream. Now I'm happy and surprised if I get six hours a night. I almost never have trouble falling asleep, but the wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night-to-go-to-the-bathroom thing is what kills me.

No, I still don't get more than six hours sleep a night, but at my age I don't expect that and am happy with my results. It reminded me of something I'd known intuitively for years, that is, trying to sleep is the surest way to keep yourself from sleeping. And I was able to make some adjustments to my own ways I'd been trying to block worries and a too busy mind so I could fall asleep.

If your problem is the too busy, too worried, too stressed mind, this chapter alone might do the trick for you. The basic idea of the book is finding what your body wants to do sleep-wise and adjusting to that rather than fighting to do what your brain tells you what you "should" be doing. Based on my success just from one chapter, were I to have new, different problems with sleeping, I feel that working the program would probably be beneficial to me.

Davidson writes in a clear, understandable style--though perhaps with a bit too much repetition from chapter to chapter--that will make most readers feel comfortable and able to understand the program.

Besides the program, there's a section at the end of the book entitled: If you are having sleep problems, this book would be an inexpensive first try to solving your problems and may be all you need. I've taken a look through this book and think it's very interesting. Will the techniques work? At this point, I'm not sure. I have trouble getting to sleep often and know that it is because of events going on currently.

What I'm looking forward too, is when things settle down and I can focus my attention on this workbook. It's definitely worth a try.
