Sleep to be sane

Even if its title may be a bit of an exaggeration, this book certainly offers a wealth of highly usable information, advice, and tips on how to sleep to be sane. With their highly entertaining and engaging style, the authors nicely tuck the forefront of sleep research into the covers of the book. Although the book's well-crafted and clever writing won't put you to sleep, the easy-to-implement sleep tips found within likely will. Getting a good night's sleep is no longer but a dream!

Get some rest!!!

Did you know an extra two hours of sleep burns about 300 calories? And a study sited in this book showed that those who got an extra two hours of sleep ate nearly 300 calories less!!! You are not alone in your need for sleep! This is an important book for women. We tend to take care of everyone and everything around us and neglect our own health and well-being. This book will help you (or someone you care about) understand and master good sleep. There are four parts to this book: *Do you have a sleep problem?

The investment you make in this purchase and the time it takes to read this book will serve you well. If you're looking for a gift idea, how about a set of pillows, pjs, or sheets wrapped up with this book to top it off? Sweet dreams!

Finally sleeping better!

This book is very straightforward and easy-to-use. I don't have time to read a long, drawn-out text, but a friend recommended this book because it had helped her so much. At first, I just flipped to the chapters I thought would help me most, but now I've read the whole thing! Who knew that just checking your e-mail before going to bed can delay sleep modes in the brain by 3 HOURS! No wonder I wasn't sleeping well. This book is directed mostly at women, but there are great, simple, tips in here for everyone on getting to sleep faster and staying asleep.

My girlfriend can sleep now! .. and thus so can I!

I got this book for my girlfriend on a whim, she always had trouble sleeping... Little did I know that it would actually work! She found it's advice cleverly written and useful. I of course found that it started making a difference in her sleep patterns and overall moods. Even better - I read the book, and now I know how to get myself prepared to be in sleep mode. Hidden within its chapters I found some surprisingly useful nuggets of information. If you have ever have trouble sleeping - this is the book for you. Other books don't have this kind of information all in one place. Worth every penny.

At last-easy tips to sleep

Finally I found a book that had suggestions for women beyond the obvious to help me begin to sleep better like getting off the computer at least an hour before bed to destress from work and keeping a strict sleep schedule--even on the weekends when I could sleep late. Plus there are great suggestions for beating jetlag and how to reset your internal clock--I am willing to give it a try!
