The Fight for Sleep: Pick Your Battles - Win the War

Your Insomnia

If every night is a battle to get to sleep, or to sleep through the night, then you have two questions that need to be answered:

1. What is the source of my problem?

2. How can I fix it?

Wasted Answers

What you don't need now is some stranger's plan for a universal cure or a long list of random suggestions for you to sort through. You don't need someone else's personal battle with their insomnia, or long descriptions of sleep, or the history of insomnia research.

A Focused Approach

What you do need is a clear path to your own answer. The Fight for Sleep will help you link together a series of decisions and actions that will help you answer the first question. Once you do that, you will be better able to make changes to manage it.

How Does It Work?

The book begins where you are, by helping you review your symptoms, your expectations, and your previous attempts to improve your sleep. It helps you clarify the actual amount of sleep you are getting - and not getting. Then it helps you move forward by asking questions about your experience of insomnia. Your answers to those questions create a path that leads to suggestions for treatment.

Each chapter-map begins with a flow chart that organizes the sections of written text in it. You follow the flow chart, and when you need more information, you turn to the associated section of text to see what it says in more detail. In that way, you individualize the entire book to suit your own needs.

You only read a part of The Fight for Sleep - the part that you care about.

Save Time and Frustration

This form of organization emphasizes the choices you need to make in order to get better sleep. It fits the book to you, and not you to the book. You use a method or technique that you have chosen because it suits your needs and issues, and you don't waste your time and energy reading about techniques that don't matter to you.
