The Insomnia Paradox

Learn the skill from this book to get a good night’s rest and feel rested during the day.
What people are saying about the Insomnia Paradox:
Wow. I’ve suffered from life destroying insomnia for 40 years. This book is written so clearly, and explains the concepts of CBT-I so well, that I decided to give CBT-I a shot following the recommendations in this book. My sleep is already much better than it has ever been, and much better than any sleep meds have given me. I highly recommend reading this. It is eye-opening (or more accurately eye-closing :)
— Alita L.
One of the better books on insomnia out there. Feels very evidence-based but easy to understand for someone who is not in academic. Definitely would be referring back to the book next time I am struggling with insomnia again.
— Katie W.
The first two weeks post guidance on how to change my behavior have been weirdly and wildly successful: I can hardly believe the (positive) change in my sleep patterns. Onwards!
