Riassunto:

<p> Based on decades of research, it is now known that the most effective program for the reversal of chronic insomnia is called "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia" or CBT-I. However, this treatment is rarely available to the general public as CBT-I is usually only offered by specially-trained psychologists or as part of research studies. People using CBTI report improved sleep, often in as little as 2-3 weeks and maintain good sleep for years. </p> <p><i>Sink into Sleep</i> breaks CBT-I down into a step-by-step, easy format, allowing the reader to follow the same effective program that patients in the clinic do. Although <i>Sink into Sleep</i> is anchored in the science of sleep, the tone of the writing is reassuring and encouraging filled with first person accounts and easy to use worksheets.</p> <p> Much, Much More Than a Workbook, <i>Sink Into Sleep</i> features: </p> <ul> <li>A chapter focused on men (often ignored by insomnia books) </li> <li>A chapter focused on women and their special sleep needs </li> <li>A chapter focused on sleep and medical conditions </li> <li>A chapter focused on sleep and anxiety or depression </li> <li>A chapter on the pros and cons of sleep medication </li> <li>An effective step-by-step guide to cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) </li> </ul> "
