good ideas to get some sleep
I think this book is addressed primarily to people who are already taking sleeping pills and want a way to get off them. The introductory sections on the physiology and psychology of sleep are very useful. The specific program seemed to me much too complicated and demanding for somebody who simply suffers from insomnia. A cognitive behavioral therapist gave me a much simpler program which worked fine for me, but I didn't take sleeping pills. Once you've gone down that road, the program described in this book may be necessary and helpful.
