Restful Insomnia: How to Get the Benefits of Sleep Even When You Can't

I have suffered from insomnia since November, 2005. I will most likely be healed by the time I finish this incredible book. The writer is an insomniac and health and science writer. Let me be short on words here because it is my bedtime. I wholeheartedly believe that this easy to read, sometimes funny, always clear and true book will help each reader sleep better and sleep more. It will also help them come to hold their sleep disorder in a positive light. That in itself may seem incredible to you. Give this book a chance and it will change your life as it is changing mine. Thank God for the answered prayer that Sondra Kornblatt has given us. Extraordinary! (you can add it to your cart now already! ;-D)Restful Insomnia: How to Get the Benefits of Sleep Even When You Can't

Sondra's witty and insightful tips combined with proven facts work together to create a plan for discovering the joys of sleep or at least rest again. I found comfort in knowing somebody else is or has suffered the same tortures of insomnia; then I found solutions to help me begin to take control of my nights again or maybe let go of the need to have control. Either way, most nights I sleep thanks to this book. The other nights I find myself calmer and more at ease with my insomnia. Thank You Sondra!!!

...I've only finished the first few chapters. Funny too, at least if you have much experience as an insomniac. I can really relate to all the failed methods mentioned. Her discussion of the conscious and unconscious mind was really eye-opening for me; we're not talking Freud here. What it boils down to is not heeding/acting on every "urgent" thought from the planning, organizing part of our brains when it's time for sleep. She gives lots of good tips on how to do that.

A personal, realistic and non-threatening approach to dealing with sleep deprivation, Restful Insomnia is beneficial for every reader--not just those who suffer from the condition. Sondra Kornblatt reveals her own troubles with insomnia and accounts her journey from frustrating sleepless nights to finally being being able to mimic the benefits of sleep through techniques such as Night Yoga and Wisdom Writing. Sondra also mentions some examples of clients whom she coached with her revolutionary program and how her techniques worked for them. But besides all the sleep talk, Restful Insomnia is just darn entertaining. Sondra's conversational, and at times, comical tone is unexpected for a non-fiction book that tackles such a troubling subject--but it's refreshing and it works. I would highly recommend this book for anyone looking for an alternative solution to this important problem that affects so many.

Sleep, as good as it is, is not so easily acquired. "Restful Insomnia: How to Get the Benefits of Sleep Even When You Can't" is a collection of tips for fighting the insomnia that affects many Americans. Rest and sleep are not synonyms, writes Sondra Kornblatt, as she states various techniques to make sure one has the energy for the events ahead when sleep is simply not on the menu. Warning against drugs, "Restful Insomnia" is a choice acquisition for when someone has to settle for the next best thing.
