This was a very solid look at insomnia, discussing the causes and solutions in plenty of detail. Lots of relevant examples, brimming with citations, and all the information is wrapped into a fairly straightforward plan to actually tackle these problems.
It gets a bit repetitive in places, but it's usually fairly well-justified. I think sleep apnea is brought up too often throughout the book considering it's only really addressed in detail at the end. Generally it's well-organized, but the last few chapters feel like a hodgepodge of miscellaneous situations that don't change things all that much. Still, these are relatively minor problems in a very good package.
I got it from the library and am planning to buy it to go through the program in more detail and share information with my wife. Rather than the usual self-help books that provide decent reminders and not much real help, this is actually a really helpful book.
