My Take on the Book Do you currently or have you had problems in the past with getting a good night's sleep? This short, condenced book, is a valuable resource that will assist all in taking control of your sleep and better understand the habits that you may have that lead to poor sleep. 

Inside the book you will find that it is broken down into easy to understand sections and that there are many good ideas that they share including: no caffeine after noon, and start winding down a few hours before bed and have a "quiet time" when you get into your jammies and settle for the night. 

One of the things that I think is hard to grapple with is the idea that you need to get away from the computer as it will keep you awake due to the light and the flickering of the computer (as will a television).

The book also goes into medications (both prescription and over-the-counter remedies) that one can take to aid with their sleep and even information on other ways in which you may be able to get help, such as visiting a sleep clinic.

This book is full of so many valuable resources, I would highly recommend this quick read, as it will change the way in which you view your sleep and the habits that may contribute to your sleep patters.
