Product Description

From Library Journal

First-time authors Jacobs and Wiedman bring two complementary and responsible viewpoints to the topic of insomnia. Both have suffered from insomnia, write extensively about the ineffectiveness and sometime harmful consequences of sleeping pills, and suggest starting treatment by keeping a sleep diary. Jacobs, a professor at Harvard Medical School and founder of the Behavioral Medicine Insomnia Program, promotes a drug-free program of healthy sleep patterns based on biofeedback, relaxation, positive thinking, and good sleep habits. Wiedman, a mortgage broker by trade, suggests a very simple three-step plan. While the two books offer similar information, Jacobs's scholarly manner will satisfy those looking for an authoritative answer, while Wiedman's more informal approach will appeal to readers seeking something more personal; Wiedman also includes an excellent annotated list of Internet resources. Both titles are highly recommended for growing consumer health collections, but librarians should be aware that other recent works on this topic by Theresa DiGeronimo, Jodi Mindell, and Gary Zammit (LJ 6/1/97) may already be on the shelves.?Kelly Hensley, East Tennessee State Univ.

5.0 out of 5 stars say goodnight to insomnia, Jan 18 2012
This review is from: Say Good Night to Insomnia: The Six-Week, Drug-Free Program Developed At Harvard Medical School (Paperback)
I was averaging 3hrs of sleep /night. I tried the jeffery thompson cd. Nothing worked.
I got "say goodnight to insomnia", and I follow the advice religiously. The first week, especially the first few days were brutal, but gradually, I started sleeping better. I am now sleeping about 7 hours with no wakeup. It takes me about 5 minutes to sleep until. And that I do till the 7am alarm.
Bottom line - if you follow the book religiously, it works.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute must-buy for long-time insomnia sufferers!!, Feb 21 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Say Good Night to Insomnia: The Six-Week, Drug-Free Program Developed At Harvard Medical School (Paperback)
This book is wonderful--I finished it in 2 days! It is a very easy-to-read explanation of the physiology of sleep, why we lose it, and how we can get it back. The techniques Dr. Jacobs describes to stop insomnia are easy to follow (although they do take patience and persistence) and really make sense. And, best of all, this program works!!! I suffered from insomnia for over 16 years, and I never thought I would be free of endless days and nights worrying about sleep. To my amazement, the night following the day I started reading the book, I fell asleep within 10 minutes! Unheard of for me! And, I wasn't even employing any of the techniques suggested in the book yet. I whole-heartedly recommend this book to all insomniacs who suffer from constant anxiety about sleeping as I did, and wish you endless nights of restful sleep!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not most recent version, Aug 14 2011
This review is from: Say Good Night to Insomnia: The Six-Week, Drug-Free Program Developed At Harvard Medical School (Paperback)
Although a great book, this version is not the most recent edition. The newer version has more up to date information on the various medications available and I would highly suggest searching for it.
