This book is for those who have long shared their bed with insomnia.
If magnesium, white noise, or a weighted blanket have not brought you sound and peaceful sleep, then the unique program by French psychotherapists Benjamin Puteau and Melina Chaputo is your chance to sleep and rest again!
Do you lie down in bed anxious that you won’t be able to fall asleep again today? Do you worry about an important meeting tomorrow, and it’s already 3:30 and sleep is nowhere in sight? Do you tell yourself that you absolutely must sleep by all means? Remember: the harder you try, the further away healthy, peaceful sleep becomes.
The problem is not how you try to fall asleep, but that you are trying!
The paradox of insomnia: the more you try to sleep, the more you activate your brain. You have turned sleep into a source of anxiety. The bed has become a battlefield. And every night you lose.
This book will teach you:
— to stop being afraid of insomnia;
— to break the link between the bed and anxiety;
— to restructure biological rhythms through a structured behavioral regime;
— to accept discomfort – and take away its power over you.
The unique ten-week program, based on many years of research experience with insomnia patients, supplemented with exercises, tests, and practices, will help you return to a life where every night will truly be peaceful!
