Summary: This book put me to sleep!
Comment: After suffering from chronic insomnia since 1992, I bought John's book hoping to avoid sleep clinics, doctors and medications. I am totally adverse to taking prescription medications of any kind.
Since I had not suffered from sleep deprivation my entire life, I believed that there was something that had caused this chronic problem beginning in 1992. John's dry wit and style of writing made for easy as well as enjoyable reading. Since John is not a clinician, his book is written in layman terms which makes it very easy to understand.
His methodical approach to identifying the cause of the sleep deprivation and then outlining the necessary steps to correct the situation is classic problem management applied to what would typically be considered a medical problem. John's techniques work. Within two months of starting John's program my chronic problem was reduced to an occasional restless night.
This is a great book!

Summary: This is the best sleep book I've read in a long time.
Comment: "Desperately Seeking Susan" by John Wiedman is a fantastic book, that helped me so immensely. The other books on sleep discuss medications to take, this book discusses how to change your behavior, and to get off medications, eat right, cut down on or stop caffeine, and to go to bed and wake up at the same time each night. It also discusses the following: info on sleep clinics, sleep cycles, self employment, night eating syndrome, restless legs syndrome, circadian rhythms disorders, conditionioned insomnia, sleep apnea. There are several chapters on sleep aids, medications, herbs, and the impact of medications on sleep stages. It goes into the long term use of sleeping pills, smoking, depression, excercise, and good health. The next part of the book looks into "the solution", talk of a sleep diary, your medical history, a pre-sleep routine (like bathing before sleep induces sleep), relaxation techniques, trouble staying asleep (that was me along w/rls) and how much one should be committed to follow John Wiedman's book. The end of the book discusses the plan one should follow, sleep clinics, and more on medications. I highly recommend this book to everyone. Thanks John!

Summary: Poorly written but helpful.
Comment: Unbelievably poorly written but does have some good ideas.
In the appendix there is a comment from someone who claims they're a literary agent and that the writing is superb. I would surmise the person is not a successful literary agent.
