    Synopsis

    Imagine an insomnia treatment that improves sleep in 100 percent of insomniacs, helps 75 percent of insomniacs become normal sleepers, and allows 90 percent of insomniacs to reduce or eliminate their use of sleeping pills. This treatment is safe, natural, and has no side effects except improved mood, higher energy, increased mind/body control, and better health. No, this is not a new miracle drug. It is Dr. Gregg Jacobs's drug-free program described in Say Good Night to Insomnia.

    At Harvard Medical School's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Dr. Jacobs has tested and developed a six-week, drug-free program that conquers insomnia in a large majority of patients. The first clinician to offer proof that insomnia can be overcome without drugs, Dr. Jacobs's program provides techniques for:Eliminating sleeping pillsEstablishing sleep-promoting habits and lifestyle practicesChanging negative, stressful thoughts about sleepImplementing relaxation and stress-reduction techniquesEnhancing peace of mind and reducing negative emotions

    May 07, 2006: The methods used in the book are all based on solid science and practices proved over a ten year period. The methods are holistic. You will not only sleep better, but you will be a healthier and happier person. I agree with the others that the tone of the book in the first few chapters can be improved, but the book is good enough that it is worth tolerating.

    May 30, 2005: I'm a terrible insomniac who has slept well for three weeks since reading this book. If you have insomnia, this book is nothing short of a miracle. That said, brace yourself for the most annoying Self Help tone ever. Keep reminding yourself that the author is a serious researcher and that his methods do work, in spite of the 'quack' tone of the prose. It's a shame he put this slick gloss on otherwise creditable information. A February 2005 article in Slate explained the success of this method, in contrast to the new sleeping pills available. Read this article to remind yourself why you're reading the book, then read the book.
