Buddha's book of sleep - Joseph Emet

Sleep deprivation is a growing problem worldwide.
We go to our doctors for advice, but they seem to have nothing but
pills to counteract this predicament, and
these quick fixes fail to get to the root of the problem.

Buddha's Book of Sleep is
the first book to treat sleep disorders from the perspective of
mindfulness meditation. Yet this is a natural choice - mindfulness
meditation has proven effective for other psychological problems such as
stress, depression and anxiety and these very issues are what become
sleep problems when our heads hit the pillow. Divided into two sections,
this book attacks sleep disorders with a combination of wisdom and
practical meditation exercises. The first section describes the reasons
why mindfulness meditation's basis in self-awareness is appropriate for
dealing with this problem, detailing the practices of this popular form
of meditation. The second section contains seven specific exercises to
practice at bedtime or in the wee hours of the morning, depending on
when sleeping problems occur.

Supplying readers with a new
perspective on why they cannot fall asleep (even when they feel
exhausted), and arming them with easy-to-use tools from the practices of
mindfulness meditation, Buddha's Book of Sleep will help the reader calm their hurried thoughts and rest easy.
