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 pills Establishing sleep-promoting habits and lifestyle practices Changing negative, stressful thoughts about sleep Implementing relaxation and stress-reduction techniques Enhancing peace of mind and reducing negative emotions
"...a safe, natural, drug-free program for improving sleep habits...explains how to develop a sleep-promoting lifestyle, change counterproductive sleep thoughts, apply relaxation techniques, and reduce 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.
