Sleep Secrets: How to Fall Asleep Fast, Beat Fatigue and Insomnia and Get A Great Night's Sleep

If you have a reading age of an 8 year old you may get something from this book, although it's an American author so probably aimed at the US market, so I suppose it's pitched at the correct level of intelligence for the book's intended market. The book is punctuated with little pictures of cute sleepy animals, dogs with floppy hats on and such like - I'm a 44 year old man so these pathetically childish images don't really appeal to me. The first 20% of the book just lists all of the health consequences of not being able to sleep; stroke, heart attack, cancer etc... no help at all. The book is mainly made up of quotes from other "experts", so no insight from the actual author. A patronising, useless, pointless waste of money and the writer of this book should be ashamed. DO NOT BUY.

Excellent, lots of simple tips - open the bedroom window (regardless of the weather) for an hour before going to bed to infuse the rom with negative ions (close the door if it's cold outside so the rest of the house doesn't get cold) and pick three or four sleep-associated words to repeat to yourself if you wake during the night - both have made a real difference to my waking up at 2 in the morning and not being able to go back to sleep. I promise the word thing is spookily effective. As soon as i start repeating them in your head I fall back to sleep, and it takes literally no more than two or three repetitions (I mix them up as I repeat them to increase the focus on the words and not allow other thoughts to intrude). Lots of other info and ideas, cartoons and web links. Really recommend it.

Ok didn't work for me

Really good book hard to finish without falling asleep.

I feel asleep reading it 🤣 must be good!
