This is a great book if you desire to do some serious sleep research! We all need to sleep and it's great to find a book that covers all aspects of sleep and tips on how to achieve optimal sleep results. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and the author covers this sleep disorder as well and gave me great insight to my condition. I highly recommend this book!

This book did exactly what I wanted it to do for me:
1) Solve my sleepping problems
2) Inform me on the importance of sleeping and the causes of sleeping problems
The book is written in a clear and direct way and the author makes sure the reader is able to understand the importance of sleeping and how to solve your sleeping problems.
I advise this one to anyone with sleeping problems or interested in the importance of sleeping. I surely didn't have a sleepless night after reading this book.

I have sleep apnea and have been struggling to adapt to the CPAP mask. I've questioned the whole business of sleep therapy and whether using the CPAP mask every night for the rest of my life was justified or effective.
Dr. Epstein's book lays it on the line. It appears to be a remarkable summary of the research, making the case for sleep therapy of many kinds, but is especially strong on sleep apnea.
I really got the idea that the book was written on two levels. First, it is authoritative enough for MD reading. Second, it is clear enough for patients to read.
My mental struggle with the CPAP therapy has been going on for two years. After reading this book, the prospect of wearing the mask for the rest of my life doesn't seem onerous at all. Reduced risk of diabetes, obesity, heart disease, stroke, and car collisions.
There are many other important topics addressed as well. And its hard to imagine a better source.
Invaluable.

Purchased this after a couple of restless nights, thinking I would never get back to having normal sleep again. Anybody who has had a sleep issue, even for just a little while, can relate, I'm sure.
Good book. Detailed but not so much that you have no idea what its talking about. All the main sleep issues are covered, including Restless Leg Syndrome. Also some good info on common sleep drugs.
Some good advice on how to get a better sleep. Beyond that though, I found the book quite interesting. It's fascinating at all the research that is done on sleep and what we're not learning about it.
If nothing else, this book made me appreciate sleep even more!
