THE INSOMNIAC'S DIY GUIDE TO SLEEP AND SLEEPLESSNESS
Synopsis
A guide to understanding and overcoming insomnia, by a doctor who appears regularly on "TV-am" and LBC Radio. He looks at the myths that surround lack of sleep and explains the truth about how much sleep people actually need. Estimates reveal that approximately 3 million people suffer from what can become a lonely and terrifying complaint - insomnia. This book examines the effect of caffeine, alcohol, sleeping pills, stress and anxiety, then looks at the reasons behind snoring and balances that with advice on eating and drinking habits. There are lots of common sense tips on beds and bedding, clothing and room temperature.

Available to borrow.

This book really helps me whenever I have bouts of insomnia.

The chapters are comprehensive, including

2-4-6-8 how many hours do we need?
Quality versus quantity? the value of cat naps
Bedtime Habits - the good and bad
Dreaming, Nightmares and Night Terrors
Sleeping Pills, how to avoid the chemical crutch
Herbs for sleep - to eat, drink, bathe in and smell
Snoring - the cause for other people's insomnia
Sex and relaxation - the ultimate answers

Yes...this is a *great* book and the suggestions aren't too horrific to work into everyday life.

I hope this will prove as useful to someone else :)
