There are many different reasons for being unable to sleep and it seems that most people have trouble with this at some time in their lives. Instead of allowing it to build up until we are exhausted and desperate, we need strategies that will give us back some control over the situation. Sondra shows us how we can get the benefits of sleep, even when sleep eludes us. She examines insomnia and suggests ways to reframe our idea of it. Acceptance can seem impossible when you are suffering chronic sleeplessness, but Sondra has some good points to make. Unless we come to terms with the state we are in, our resistance to it is a waste of energy that could be better used to work through it. Deeply soothing evening rituals, creating a special night nest, practising a unique form of night yoga, connecting with your body, quietening the mind, night writing, bedroom feng shui and developing postive focus are some of the methods she utilizes to both live with and reduce insomnia. This not a dot-point, how-to self-help book. It is thoughtfully written and eloquent - a joy to read.
