Dr. Jacobs's insomnia program achieves its remarkable results because it is based on a simple yet powerful principle: the majority of cases of chronic insomnia are caused by thoughts and behaviors that are learned and that can be unlearned. Some of the techniques and concepts in his book include:

* changing negative, stressful thoughts about sleep
* establishing sleep-promoting behaviors and lifestyle practices
* developing stress-reducing, sleep-enhancing attitudes and beliefs
* how to eliminate sleeping pills
* learning the relaxation response and cognitive stress reduction techniques

In Say Good Night to Insomnia, Dr. Jacobs uses case examples and interactive exercises to guide readers through a six week program for overcoming insomnia that parallels the program he developed at Harvard Medical School. In as little as a few days, the program will help you rediscover the pleasure of a good night's sleep. Within a few weeks, your mood and energy will improve. And, by the end of the program, you will look at yourself in a new and powerful way, and possess greater control over your emotions and health and greater control over life.

Say Good Night to Insomnia describes the first and only drug-free program scientifically proven to conquer insomnia. More than just a book on insomnia, Say Good Night to Insomnia inspires readers with the empowering message that the key to taking control of our sleep, mind, and body- and changing our lives in fundamental and powerful ways- resides within us.
