Healthy Sleep: Wake Up Refreshed and Energized with Proven Practices for Optimum Sleep

On this CD set, Professor Naiman turns a liability into an asset. His speaking voice will put you to sleep no matter what he is saying. I'm sure that many of his students fall asleep when he lectures.Having written that, I must say I do appreciate his approach to overcoming sleeplessness. And his speaking style is a real bonus.New research is finding that not getting enough sleep causes people to be irritable, make more mistakes, and even tends to shorten lives. Get this CD set if you have trouble sleeping. It really could help if you give it an honest try. It helped me.

Perhaps if you're new to insomnia you will find some helpful ideas in these 2 CDs, and very small pamphlet. However, if you've had any, and I mean any, basic instruction about good sleep hygiene or have read any of the good books out there, you'll find this material rudimentary. Moreover, the guided imagery was off-putting to me. Using an airplane for a metaphor does not nudge me into sleep. And I'm glad some people found the voices soothing. To me they were just average and not sleep inducing at all.Far more helpful is a small book called "Zen and the Art of Sleep" by Eric Chiles which, if you've done any mindfulness work, really helps you apply it to insomnia and understand how to "let go" and let sleep happen.

This audio book is excellent for people with trouble quieting their mind. I have trouble turning off my thoughts at the end of the day. The voices guide you in breathing. It helps with sleeping and waking up. I enjoyed it so much from the library that I bought my own copy. My teenage children use it too. I have used several audio books for sleep and stress. This one is very clear and simple.

I thought it would be more like Dr. Weil's Healing sounds cd. I wanted to relax and hear him talk me through a relaxation session. This is a book.

Do not listen to these CDs while driving!1st guy, Weil, gives the science part. 2nd guy, a bit too acid-addled for my taste, talks some about theory but his genius is in his voice: it's impossible to stay awake when he is talking.I am not an insomniac. Others may be more resistant to his sand-man charms. But between the breathing exercises and the warm-lecture-hall-after-lunchtime-voice, I'm guessing you, too, will succumb.

CD arrived promptly.I was already familiar with it so quite satisfied with the tracks. Was a little disappointed though that the case broke the second time I opened it.

This cd is so similar to the Yoga of sleep that I should have just gotten one or the other. The cd is useful, but I don't need two so alike.

I gave it as a gift.

I have had trouble sleeping for years so I decided to give healthy sleep a try I have been practising it for a couple of weeks now and I love it,it has taught me ways to calm down and fall into a restful sleep I amnow only waking once or twice thought the night but I fall right back to sleep no more tossing and turning I would recommend it to anyone to give it a try

Much of the content provided by Dr. Weil was not based on research, rather what he thinks about things. I was hoping to learn about integrative approaches that have been backed by good evidence. I'm still not sleeping.
