Great. Thorough. Clearly presented. Important information to have if you happen to be a human being who is interested in having a healthy, fulfilled life.

Excellent information that my wife & I have been using to improve our sleep. My wife used to get 50-70 scores on her iPhone Sleep app. After using the information in the book, she now gets consistently in the 90's. I used to get scores below 50 often, now I am usually in the 70-90 range.

However, might generate depression when you consider how much you are expected to absorb.

I listened to this book. It has a lot of information in it. It talks about a lot of different sleep orders that didn't pertain to me. Those I listened to and had other thoughts while listening or I fast forwarded through them. It was a pretty easy listen. I could listen to it at 3x the speed and enjoy it. I think this is a book of facts that can also be rather boring, so if you were to listen to this at bed time on a 1x speed, it might be good white noise. For sleep being so important to our bodies, there is not really a lot of options out there for us nonsleepers. I do not do meditation, nor do I ever plan to do meditation. I'm more stressed after meditation then when I started it, I just do not like it. I do like the affirmations for those of us going into bedtime with negative thoughts of not sleeping. I probably will look into CBTI. The narrator did a good job for a factual book, not much chance to create emotions or suspense in this book. I was thinking I would buy the paperback and annotate it with the useful information, but no paperback is available and the hardback is almost $20 so not worth it for that price. Most of the information I already knew about helping fall asleep. I didn't need to know the why on sleep disorders or why I can't sleep. I want to know how to be able to sleep. This didn't hold a lot of good information. I'm assuming there isn't much more out there. It was an easy listen.

The only thing that helped! After months of sleeping issues, I listened to so many podcasts and they all said CBT is the gold standard. Well it is. I’m so relieved to have found this easy guide.

Most helpful book on better sleep than this lifelong insomniac has ever encountered. Thank you Mayo Clinic.

Reading this book gives me insight utilizing different Methods to try to help me get a better nights sleep. I will try some of the breathing exercises, different teas to relax me and review my bedroom environment. It will take time to increase my sleep quality but I an eager to start practicing these concepts.

Excellent book.

Full of good info.

An interesting book that spends an inordinate amount of time explaining why you may have difficulty getting to sleep and staying that way. Unfortunately, the solutions offered are the same thing you read a thousand times if sleep is an issue.

Some good content, but overall a very sad tone. Seems written for an audience suffering from learned helplessness.

Pretty much, from what I can tell, is common wisdom.

Disappointed. Most of the info contained in this book can easily be found on the internet.

Some good info, but a lot of padding to make a decent sized book. Lots of anecdotal "evidence" that what works for one individual will work for you, too.

I haven't read the whole book yet, but looked at tips, employed one, and instantly had a better night's sleep! Great book Worth its weight in gold to me. I look forward to reading and employing other tips too. For those too who seek to be convinced by evidence based advice, this is the book for you!! First sleep book I have bought that had such an impact!!

I work with people who have difficulties sleeping. This book does a good job presenting basic information about sleep and sleep problems. It's a bit repetative, but that's not a big problem. I think it's a good resource for the general public that will help people better understand sleep and learn strategies for improving sleep, if it's a problem for you.

VERY COMPLETE, DETAILED, SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS of every aspect of sleep issues. I found this book very helpful.

A book written on sleep.. written by AI? Not sure if that’s true but it’s so basic I’d think so.

Good advice

Excellent service but, more importantly, excellent book! Extremely valuable for those with insomnia. You don't need to wait for months for an appointment with a CBTI therapist!

Some good info. Some hypothesizes. Some guessing. Repetitive in some areas. Overall a good book. Not great. I expected more detail, but I’m a doctor who treats a lot of insomnia. So I’m wanting a lot of depth on physiology if sleep. That’s lacking in this book. Somewhat boring to listen to as audibles book. Reading it could be a chore.

Over the top!!!!!!

I have found that books from Mayo Clinic have helped me in learning what causes my health problems, ways I can deal with them and questions I can use when I see my doctors. These books have helped me, to help myself and with more information I can share with my concerned family. It helps me feel that I've more control of the many changes in my health and my life. It helps me feel more empowered.

Small habit changes from this book are really helping my sleep habits. If you wake up exhausted no matter what you try, this book can help change that. Highly recommended!

I have been taking steps to improve my sleep for years. This small book packs in a lot of information, and is pretty well-written. It’s one of the few books I’ve read recently that gave me some new ideas to try. It also helped me understand the importance of sleep cycles as opposed to total sleep hours.The books gets a bit preachy in some parts, which is why I give it 4 stars instead of five.
