No More Sleepless Nights
There are an estimated 30 million Americans suffering from insomnia and other sleep disorders. Beginning with possible causes, among them diet, exercise, environment, stress, smoking and drinking, this guide offers detailed steps and exercises for ridding oneself of insomnia. It covers topics including the latest research and therapy programs, sleep clinics, helping children sleep, kicking a sleeping-pill habit and more, and offers many anecdotes and actual case studies.
Although the catchy title may mislead, this is a serious encyclopedia of sleep disorders. Based on sleep disorder studies from the Mayo Clinic's insomnia program, of which Hauri is director, this book goes into precise detail on the many kinds of insomnia, incorporating the complete range of research and treatment in easy and accessible language.
