Don't just lie there - Michael van Straten

A guide to understanding and overcoming insomnia, by a doctor who appears regularly on "TV-am" and LBC Radio. He looks at the myths that surround lack of sleep and explains the truth about how much sleep people actually need. Estimates reveal that approximately 3 million people suffer from what can become a lonely and terrifying complaint - insomnia. This book examines the effect of caffeine, alcohol, sleeping pills, stress and anxiety, then looks at the reasons behind snoring and balances that with advice on eating and drinking habits. There are lots of common sense tips on beds and bedding, clothing and room temperature.
