Library Journal

Thousands of Americans suffer from insomnia caused by stress and other hazards of contemporary life. Krugman, a sufferer once himself, offers a holistic approach to the problem. Part 1 recounts his search for better sleep, including tidbits about sleep research and somatic therapies; Krugman eventually adapted aspects of the Feldenkrais Method, which is designed to ease movement and improve general well-being, to create his Sounder Sleep System. After relieving his own insomnia with this combination of 18 slow, small exercises to relax the body, decrease stress, and lull one to sleep, he began training instructors and teaching seminars on the system. Part 2 clearly describes the exercises and illustrates them with black-and-white photographs. This book is not intended to treat medical conditions like sleep apnea or other clinical sleep disorders, but its exercises should help those plagued by garden-variety insomnia. Recommended for public and consumer health libraries.-Eris Weaver, Cotati, CA Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

Product Description: Insomnia. It's nearly universal affliction that keeps millions of Americans up at night. But now there's help: THE INSOMNIA SOLUTION by Michael Krugman. In this revolutionary book, Krugman shows readers that insomnia is not just a nighttime affliction, but a 24-hour-a-day condition resulting from daytime stress that persists into the night, delaying the onset of sleep and making it shallower and less restful. To relieve stress and ensure sounder sleep, Krugman offers a two-pronged program of gentle, physical techniques, called Mini-Moves, based on traditional and modern self-healing methods including qigong, meditation, and the Feldenkrais Method. Brief, daytime Mini-Moves offset stress and make life more peaceful. When your life is more peaceful, your sleep is more peaceful. Nighttime Mini-Moves, done while lying quietly in bed, make it easy to fall asleep at bedtime and enable quick recovery from unwanted awakenings during the night. Readers can personalize the plan, which consists of a combination of 18 Mini-Moves. The profusely illustrated, step-by-step format makes learning fun and effective. THE INSOMNIA SOLUTION will help millions of readers to get all the natural, restful sleep they need, when they need it.
