It introduces the latest clinical scientific knowledge about sleep in an approachable tone, and is based on cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia, supplemented by light therapy, chronotherapy, positive thinking therapy, and clinical experience.

While helping you become aware of your own needs, the book also addresses many common sleep myths and provides a number of practical forms specially designed to make it a practical self-help guide to sleep.
