Story
Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep. Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking, and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive.

More than 60 percent of American women have trouble sleeping - which isn't surprising, as they have a higher risk of developing sleeping problems. But addressing this issue is more nuanced for women than for men; pregnancy and menopause are just two factors that add complexity to an already difficult problem. At the risk of jeopardizing work, parenting, relationships, or overall health, no woman can afford to deal with sleep deprivation on her own.

Sleeping well is an essential part of a healthy life, and trying to solve our sleeping problems is crucial to everyday functioning. Usually, a regular human being should take 10 to 20 minutes to fall asleep once they get in bed, but sometimes we have difficulties switching our brains off, because of worries, anxiety, stress, or even conditions like insomnia, and falling asleep becomes a nightmare itself.

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.
