1: The Promise of Sleep
This book was recommended by the therapist husband of a friend and I found
it an excellent resource for those who are having sleep problems and for those who need insight on how to create an environment conducive to sleep.
Promptly sent by Amazon.

2: Great Read!
This is an AMAZING book. Very interesting and informative. I had to buy this book for a sleep class, and I liked the book so much I read the book faster than we were assigned to. I got the book quickly, and it was in really good condition.

3: back cover reads
A pioneer in sleep medicine explores the vital connection between health, happiness, and a good night's sleep. The goal for this book is not to tell everyone about all the exciting discoveries in sleep science and sleep medicine - many fantastic researchers and clinicians have filled volumes with that information. Rather the goal is to give people the fundamental knowledge they need to change the way they sleep and live. We are not healthy unless our sleep is healthy, and we cannot make our sleep healthy unless we become thoroughly aware of both its peril and its promise.

4: The Promise of Sleep
This is a great book. I have purchased 4 copies for my siblings and my father. I have also recommended it to many friends. The book is particularly important to people with sleep problems, but is also invaluable general knowledge for all people. It is easy to read, very informative, and also entertaining. In fact, I am just finishing the last chapter, and I am planning to immediately start re-reading it. It is full of lots of great information.

5: Highly underated subject
A bit of a long read, but a great reference book. Dr.Dement and Mr. Vaughan describe one of the most overlooked aspect of health, namely sleep. But, as with most university professors, the writing is borderline text book and can be a dry read for the layperson. Personally, I have only read selected chapters of this book due to its 450 pages. I think that these two authors could put together an awesome book if they condensed it down to about 150 pages. I have heeded this book's advice. I started cutting back on my exercise, herbs and supplements and concentrated on more sleep. Even as much as 20 minutes more a day have improved my own health, mood and performance.
