If you suffer from insomnia...
...it's likely you’ve tried every pill and program out there to get to sleep at night. But there’s no "one size fits all" solution to insomnia—the latest clinical thinking holds that there are several different types of insomnia, each requiring a specialized treatment program. The key to effectively addressing sleeplessness lies in appreciating its effects on both your body and mind, and then mapping out a treatment plan based on the specific type of insomnia you have.
The first book to provide a personalized prescription for each of the three main types of insomnia, The Insomnia Answer goes far beyond simple recommendations like "cut out caffeine" and "avoid an afternoon nap." Dr. Paul Glovinsky and Dr. Art Spielman, clinical psychologists and specialists in the evaluation and treatment of sleep disorders, bring the mind back into the discussion of insomnia—teaching you how to prepare both your mind and body for sleep, and giving you the real answers you’ve been looking for to finally get the rest you need.

You’ll learn how to be still in body and mind, how to stop trying to get to sleep, and, instead, how to let sleep find you.
