This book is fantastic! It is very detailed and informative and lays out how you can get better sleep and overcome your insomnia through mindfulness. Through meditating and really being away of yourself and surroundings, you can get much better sleep. It requires intention and taking time to learn what you need to do in order to overcome the hurdle of insomnia, but is worth the commitment. Your health will thank you! I'm so glad I found this book and plan to continue utilizing it in my life.

This is a wonderful, positive, self-help book! It is very complete and the language so accessible and easy to understand. I followed the daily program. Recommended for everyone who is interested or wants to practice mindfulness. Although, as the title states, it is written for those with insomnia, I can see it as a useful resource throughout the day.

This is an informative, well written book. I haven't tried the plan, but it seems easy to implement. Mindfulness is the new "hot" trend, and I've read other books on it, so it was interesting to see it applied toward insomnia and other issues. I look forward to trying some of these exercises the next time I struggle with insomnia.

I haven’t yet followed the plan but having read through I’m looking forward to implementing it to tackle on and off insomnia. It’s easy to read and full of useful information so is bound to be of help. My honest review is in exchange for a digital copy from Netgalley and publisher, to whom I’m thankful for the opportunity.

A very well written and informative book. The scheduled weeks are doable and easy to follow. I've already read several books about mindfulness and the techniques you can do, but this one had a few new one's I haven't heard before, so it was interesting to learn and will be trying them out for sure as it can also help with other struggles besides Insomnia. This is great because usually one struggle leads into another that can lead into another, etc.

I have bouts of insomnia and was super excited to come across this book. It is crazy to think about how many things lack of sleep effects- mental health, making poor eating choices, feeling less motivated and positive- but so true! I really enjoyed reading about the GMATI approach to help address the issues that are keeping us up at night. The book is easy to understand and gives lots of practical advice on how to put this plan in place. I am excited to test it out myself! Thank you to Netgalley and New Harbinger Publications, Inc. for an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

I suffer from occasional sleep maintenance insomnia. I find myself waking up a few hours after falling due to my husband’s loud snoring, unable to fall back asleep for hours, even if I take my pillow and myself out to the sofa where it is quiet. Although my occasional bouts of insomnia aren’t stress related, it can be a definite disruption in my life. I often find myself thinking, “I am never going to get some sleep!” The GMATI approach outlined in this book is helpful because it is chock-full of practical tips to help the mind and body rest.

This is exactly the book I need! I haven’t finished the program, but I have already implemented some of the strategies. This book is for all of us who need tools to improve our sleep hygiene.
