Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I confess to being disappointed. I read the book after being diagnosed (and treated for) sleep apnea and I was looking for a deeper understanding of why I have it and what I can do to be less tired. The vast majority of the book seems devoted to trying to convince the reader that poor sleep can be a cause of just about every disease or problem a person can have. It's only at the very end of the book that any suggestions are made, and most of them struck me as either obvious (the standard litany of sleep hygiene suggestions such as go to bed at the same time every night), impractical (arrange your schedule so you can get a long sleep every night), or lacking detail. However, if you feel unwell and unrested and you don't know why, then this book would be a good resource for you. It will help you make the connection between your rest and your other symptoms and might help you frame your problems in a way to present them to your doctor so he or she can order a sleep study. If you're already aware that you have sleep issues and that they affect you and you want more information on how it all works, I recommend The Promise of Sleep instead (http://www.amazon.com/Promise-Sleep-Medicine-Connection-Happiness/dp/0440509017/ref=sr_1_4?).ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1243891237&sr=1-4
