Synopsis: Since publication of the first edition of this book, sleep-deprived Americans have found natural, drug-free relief from insomnia with the help of Dr. Gregg D. Jacobs's definitive guide, Say Good Night to Insomnia. Jacobs's program, developed and tested at Harvard Medical School and based on cognitive behavioral therapy, is the gold standard for treatment. He provides techniques for: (1) ELIMINATING SLEEPING PILLS; (2) ESTABLISHING SLEEP-PROMOTING BEHAVIORS AND LIFESTYLE PRACTICES; (3) IMPROVING RELAXATION, REDUCING STRESS, AND CHANGING NEGATIVE THOUGHTS ABOUT SLEEP. In this updated edition, Jacobs, an insomnia specialist at the Sleep Disorders Center at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, surveys the limitations and dangers of the new generation of sleeping pills, dispels misleading and confusing claims about sleep and health, and shares cutting-edge research on insomnia that proves his approach is more effective than pills.
