Book Reviews of No More Sleepless Nights
Book Review: A must-read for any insomniac!
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this book to anyone who suffers from insomnia. Dr. Hauri gives you all the facts about what could be causing your sleeping problem. He covers the effects of diet on sleep, including certain vitamins and minerals that promote sleep; the effect of exercise on sleep - how the amount and timing of activity is important; and how you might be upsetting your natural sleep cycle (you may be sleeping too much!) and how to reset this clock. Also, did you know that you may be conditioned to not sleep when you go to bed? He covers the Bootzin technique of overcoming this bad habit of bedtime-induced stress and anxiety.He discusses medical problems that might be contributing to your insomnia and when to seek a medical professional. He explains why sleeping pills are not a good long term solution and how to kick this potentially dangerous habit. He gives you relaxation techniques to help you manage your stress all day long.
For any of you who were contemplating whether or not to seek treatment at a sleep disorders center, Dr. Hauri explains when it is time for you to seek this kind of help. He also covers what goes on in a sleep lab and what they will be monitoring.
Dr. Hauri gives you all the facts about sleep so YOU can be your own sleep investigator. Easy to read and understand. Highly recommended!
Thank you,Dr. Hauri, for helping me to feel so much more rested and refreshed.

The book 'No More Sleepless Nights' is an excellent overall book on sleep disorders. It covers very effective diagnosis of sleep disorders, such as those arising from poor hygiene, poor diet, depression and anxiety. One of the most useful suggestions is the empirical and very sensible use of sleep logs to moniter your sleeping patterns, in aid of diagnosing possible factors leading to poor sleep. Once you have an idea of what may be causing your sleeping problems, the book gives detailed information on how to possibly remedy the situation. This includes topics such as relaxation techniques, excersise, regular sleeping times, as well as more drastic techniques such as light therapy and chronotherapy. The details of staying in sleep disorders units are also covered. Overall the book is very good, concise and well written, coming from two leading expert MD in the sleep disorders field. The main message you are left with from this book is - don't be scared of insomnia. Highly recommended.
Book Review: This Book Made Me Sleep
Summary: 5 Stars
I recommend this book highly. A quiz and the possible fix cured my long-standing insomnia. Seems calcium-deficiency (and maybe magnesium, too) was the cause of my inability to fall asleep.
Rapid heart beat, anxiety kept me up most of the night. Based on book's recommendation, I added calcium (plus D) and magnesium into my life. Divided them up into two doses, one in the morning, one an hour or so before bed time.
The result? Normal sleep, no more rapid heart beat, no more anxiety. And a happier husband because I'm a nicer person when I'm not sleep deprived.
I'm very, very grateful to the authors of this book for their helpful and thorough examination and effective cures for insomnia. Well worth the money I spent. It's so nice to fall asleep easily and sleep through the night. Hope you find your cure in this book, too.
Book Review: This book changed my life
Summary: 5 Stars
I happened into this book in a bookstore several years ago. At the time, I was experiencing sleep difficulties that were interfering with my life and work. This book works methodically through possible causes of sleep disturbance, and provides exercises that the reader can follow to determine the causes of their own sleep problems and how to solve them. Using the book's methodologies, I was able to determine within a couple of weeks the surprising cause that I was trying to get more sleep than my body needed. Therefore I was never sleeping particularly well and always feeling tired. I began to cut down on my sleep time, and almost immediately began to feel better! The point, however, is that this book provides tools for anyone to determine the causes of their sleep difficulties and begin to resolve them. I highly recommend it.Book Review: Clear, Informative, Morale-boosting Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a severe problem with insomnia and when tested in a sleep lab, found that I had a severe problem with OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea.) Treatment for this was necessary: a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure device,) which I have used ever since. But I found that simply learning about sleep and being able to understand it as a process with many variables, made a hugh difference in how I felt about having sleep problems and having OSA. The information is provided with a lot of emotional support and practical suggestions and I found that this helped my morale, even before my sleep improved. I found that sleeping problems deleteriously affected my morale and quality of life a lot and anything which helped that to improve felt like a life-saver.
