Every day you hear of new problems from poor sleep and since 9/11, things seem worse. I was skeptical at first, but Dr. Krakow's simple methods really seem to help me. I like that this book can be read two ways. You can read it for the detail, or just concentrate on the practical steps he outlines at the beginning of each section. This book should be helpful to anyone who knows or thinks she has a sleep problem, difficulties with sleepness, and etc. The author clearly knows what he's talking about!
