A busy and hectic life can profoundly affect your ability to get a good night’s rest. And it’s even more difficult to feel relaxed when you stay awake worrying that you won’t fall asleep. This vicious circle can quickly rob you of your quality of life, which is why it is so important to seek the most effective treatment for your insomnia.
This workbook uses cognitive behavior therapy, which has been shown to work as well as sleep medications and produce longer-lasting effects. Research shows that it also works well for those whose insomnia is experienced in the context of anxiety, depression, and chronic pain. The complete program in Quiet Your Mind and Get to Sleep goes to the root of your insomnia and offers the same techniques used by experienced sleep specialists.
You’ll learn how to optimize your sleep pattern using methods to calm your mind and help you identify sleep-thieving behaviors that contribute to insomnia. Don’t go without rest any longer-get started on this program and end your struggles with sleep.

Great book on how to get a good night’s sleep
I read about this book in the Minneapolis Star and Tribune about behavior modification to get a better night’s sleep, so I ordered it. I found it very helpful and have been using some of the charts in the book. I would recommend buying the book as a paperback, not an ebook, so you can copy the charts and use them to improve your sleeping habits and calm your mind. There were new insights into sleep that I didn’t know. After reading it, I have given it to my son to read as he also has trouble getting a restful night’s sleep.

Best advice on insomnia so far
For someone whoâs struggled with insomnia that produces severe anxiety, I highly recommend this workbook. Iâm listening on Audible, but I also bought the actual book because I want to go back and take notes and recap some sections.Iâm already taking the recommended actions to control my lack of sleep.

For Some People, a Good Book
This book was recommended to me by a physician who is a sleep specialist. The book is thorough, provides great explainations, has ready plans and well written. I did buy the book and I actually hated the book. This is a really personal bias as I don’t do cognitive therapy. For those persons who work during the day, this book could be useful. For those persons who are more open minded about cognitive stuff, this book is helpful. For those persons who have a genetic disposition towards being a night owl, read New York Times “A New Day for Night Owls” article in Styles Section on August 26, 2018.

This book changed my sleep and has helped others
This book does not contain any new information. The reason it had such a big impact is it illuminated my thinking about sleep, how destructive my own thoughts were and how common suchthoughts are among people who struggle with sleep. Of course, my thoughts seemed original to me.I lead a healthy life so it was humbling to find out that I had developed a whole series of bad sleep practices. But instead of instructing me from the third person, this work book helped meunderstand my sleep through my own previously unknown attitudes and habits.Because I have incorporated what I learned from this book into my life, I now sleep almost perfectly. One of the things I learned is that while I’m an active person, I need to be sure that I haveset my “sleep driver” high enough each day so I added a vigorous daily walk. Knowing that I will sleep better because of the walk adds motivation.I told my doctor about this book and he advised me about the literature that my health care system publishes. It’s a lot of the same information but it lectures, it doesn’t help illuminate motivationand attitudes. I tell people about this book regularly, the title is easy for them to remember and I have received profuse thanks for passing it along. My daughter just asked for a copy as sherealizes from listening to me that she has trained herself not to sleep. This very readable book will teach her to sleep well.Thanks to the authors for giving understanding instead of just knowledge.

This book was very very informative and useful to me. I do recommend this for your own understanding of CBT-I however, if your insomnia is pretty bad, I still recommend working with a CBT-i professional because they help keep you on track and re assure you what is working and what is not. It is hard to recognize improvement or decide what avenue to take in certain insomnia cases. I found success from CBT-i through Motty Varghese. I read this book just before starting sessions.

The writer likes to repeat herself and her points throughout the chapters, wasting the readerâs time and attention.How many times have they actually edit this book to be more succinct?Other than that, great content.
