Book Reviews of Insomniac

Book Review: Best book ever written on Insomnia
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the most thorough book on insomnia I have ever read. And I have read a lot of them. I have been insomniac all my life, since birth. (Genetic--like my mom).

You will find in this book a lot about genetic causes, and everything else you want to know, all the latest science. It's a very empowering book. It tells you things you can do for yourself that the doctors don't know. It's easy to read and even funny in places.

The nightmarish life we insomniacs live each night seems less nightmarish with this book. Thanks to this book I don't feel so alone.

Summary of Insomniac

I can't work, I can't think, I can't connect with anyone anymore. . . . I mope through a day's work and haven't had a promotion in years. . . . It's like I'm being sucked dry, eaten away, swallowed up, coming unglued. . . . These are voices of a few of the tens of millions who suffer from chronic insomnia. In this revelatory book, Gayle Greene offers a uniquely comprehensive account of this devastating and little-understood condition. She has traveled the world in a quest for answers, interviewing neurologists, sleep researchers, doctors, psychotherapists, and insomniacs of all sorts. What comes of her extraordinary journey is an up-to-date account of what is known about insomnia, providing the information every insomniac needs to know to make intelligent choices among medications and therapies. Insomniac is at once a field guide through the hidden terrain inhabited by insomniacs and a book of consolations for anyone who has struggled with this affliction that has long been trivialized and neglected.
