The Sleep Book

ACT (or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) is an exciting new form of psychological therapy with a growing evidence base that points to its effectiveness. Guy Meadows has adapted ACT to the specific problem of insomnia. And it is absolutely brilliant. I would recommend this for any person who suffers from sleep deprivation or regular poor sleep. It is quite simply the most important development in the non-drug treatment of insomnia. You will need to practice the skills. If you do you will be rewarded, in sleeping better and in living your best life. I speak as a psychologist and also as someone who has experienced insomnia and been helped by this book.

honestly, the worst audiobook i have ever purchased.
When does it ever get to a point? ... never.
it sounds like relentless sales hype.
a complete waste of money.

I would first like to say that the narrator was outstanding. His tone of voice made me feel relaxed, the music in between chapters was also relaxing. Now, the content. This book is a 5 week programme, and that's AWESOME. It gives you time to really tackle the issue at the root. You learn so much and it works! I did struggle on week 3 but I went back to it and am now at peace at night. I sleep at 10 PM, wake up at 6 AM. This book has changed my life. As I've said it's more than just a sleep book - it's a mindfulness book. By far the best purchase I have EVER made on Audible.

With this review I want to encourage everybody who is suffering from insomnia and the fears of the consequences of not sleeping to try this book. It's unique approach of how to change the attitude towards sleep can even help people who have unsuccessfully tried everything to fix their sleep. An absolute must if you want to get your life back. The sleep problem couldn't be described and tackled any better! I am writing this as somebody who has had massive sleep problems since the age of 10. So, my message to my fellow sufferers is, give it a go!
