My favorite book about getting a good night sleep.

My favorite book about getting a good night sleep.
I have been a fan of Deepak Chopra's for many years and I was curious about what he had to say about getting a good night sleep.This is a short book full of wisdom and good tips on ways to promote a good night sleep.Whether you adhere to the Ayurvedic approach to health and wellness or not, this little book is chock full of advice that has stayed with me.Here are a few nuggets that I just love and have really helped me:1.Cultivating an attitude of "not minding" and staying as still as possible when feeling restless (as opposed to getting up and doing something else while experiencing insomnia). P.212. He recommends warm milk and has some nice recipes for cardamom-nutmeg milk and cardamom-saffron milk (p.76)3. Gentle toning up and stretching exercises (fully illustrated) starting on p. 914. A great bedtime sleep log/checklist that you can photocopy and use (p.77)5. Towards the end of the book in Chapter 9 (entitled "Fulfillment, the Basis for Restful Sleep", Dr. Chopra talks about something near and dear to me: that is that how we feel on the inside and how we live during the day affects the quality of sleep at night. He speaks of Dharma, and discovering and living a purposeful life. Beautiful and right on point!There are so many more things I could add but just pick up this little volume yourself. It is a quick read but you will find yourself wanting to refer back to it from time to time (as I have).

I tend to judge self-help books based on the number of practical things I can apply. This book has a pretty good number that I found helpful. Some of them I had read elsewhere before, but there was a decent amount of material that was new to me and the rest of the material was a good refresher and summary of some things I already knew.

Love so many of his books for much growth would not have been possible without the knowledge he gives.
This book nicely outlines behaviors that interfere with a good night sleep as well as simple strategies to enhance sleep. At points, scientific research is cited and interesting. It goes beyond routine, routine, routine and the quick night massage is helpful in calming the nervous system for sleep. Beyond that, the book fosters creativity for one to customize habits to achieve a restful sleep.

The content of the book is very interesting. As for the order itself, this book was obviously wet at some point and then dried. Not sure I would have bought it had I known that, but it is still readable.

I just pick this book up and start reading a few lines and I can barely stay awake! And not because it is boring but because the ideas and methods presented are so effective, just picking it up I am reminded about them.

If you have insomnia, and have ordered other audios to help you sleep, don't mistake this for one of them. It is instructional only, read in a daytime voice that you would listen and make notes to during the day. For me, it was a waste of money. I saw positive reviews by people I would have to guess did not have insomnia/sleep anxiety. Deepak Chopra is a wonderful narrator on every other audio I have, except this one. Save your money.

Never saw this book for sale before and I've searched Deepak Chopra a lot. Its from 1991 but has a lot of good info on sleep. It has helped me already. There's a test to determine your type. Before I read this, always thought I was a night person, but he explains why there is no such thing.

The info is rather obvious, but reading helps the sleepless remember what the keys to a good nights sleep are, worth the cost of a book, if only to have for the reminders of what you are doing to keep yourself awake....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 21, 2017
I quite all-right book for beginners of this 2100 year old Indian Ayurveda. That red meat, that is ox, that it really does not go well with either dosha is really propaganda that flirts with Hindu culture. The questionary is not precise enough, in my own opinion. Otherwise, it was the first informative Ayurveda book I did come across. SEY
