For readers enticed by Arianna Huffington's The Sleep Revolution but looking for the medical evidence to support its claims, two doctors have incorporated the latest research into a guide designed to help insomniacs get sleepy.


"For insomniacs who don't want a cosmetic solution, this guide digs deeper, and is likely to get better, more permanent results." -Kirkus Reviews on The Insomnia Answer


Good sleep is an elusive goal: the harder you try to fall asleep, the less likely you are to be successful. Insomnia is stoked by different habits, schedules, stresses, beliefs, and even personality types-but there is no single pill or therapy to reverse it. Sleep cannot be forced-ultimately, it must come to you.


While insomnia treatments can set the stage, the best thing a person can do to ready themselves for sleep is "getting sleepy." This practical, easy-to-follow guide written by two founding experts in behavioral sleep medicine will help you achieve one of the most important parts of staying healthy: a good night's rest. Taking into account the particular challenges that stand in your way to better sleep, Glovinsky and Spielman:


- Discuss changes you can make to your daily routines to induce sleepiness

- Walk you through applying standard cognitive behavioral treatments

- Introduce new, promising interventions for managing anxiety, depression, an out-of-sync biological clock, dependence on medication, and more


True sleepiness is the only reliable portal to sleep. You Are Getting Sleepy will guide you there.
