This is a short, cute and funny little book. While it did not make me fall asleep I did enjoy the pictures (the sheep are adorable!), puzzles and quotes. Thank you to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

I didn't enjoy the book very much to be honest!

I would like to thank the publisher for giving me a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

On Goodreads, I left off a star rating, as This Book Will Make You Fall Asleep by Andrews McMeel Publishing is more of a coffee table type book that you give as a gift than anything else. As I'm required to leave a star rating here on Netgalley, I've decided on three stars. This book is comical, and it has some really great quotes and tips in it. I am sure that this book COULD help some people fall asleep, but personally, I know that the puzzles in this book would turn my brain on, rather than put me to sleep. All in all, though, this book is a fun time! Just don't expect it to cure your insomnia by any means.

So last night I did NOT have a good night's sleep. I don't know if this book will make me sleep better tonight but I can say that it is very cute. This is a book for all ages. There are sheep everywhere to be counted and all kinds of puzzles including mazes, word searches, spot the difference, find the two that are alike and more. Throughout the book is delightfully illustrated with cartoon sheep like the ones that you see on the cover..

In addition to the puzzles, there are many quotes about sleep. There are also hints that are tried and true, such as shutting off screens, drinking warm milk, etc.

This book will not necessarily solve your sleep problems, but you might enjoy looking through it.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.

I wasn't really sure what this book would include, but as an insomniac I was excited to read it. It is filled with tips and tricks to help you fall asleep faster, how to set up your bedroom, and then puzzles and games to do before bedtime. A great stocking stuffer or gift for any insomniac. Four stars because most of tips and tricks I've heard before, but this book puts them all in one place.

I cracked this adorable little book open last night as I struggled to fall asleep. It's full of great quotes, fast little puzzles and games and adorable little sheep. I loved the soothing colors and found myself wishing I had a physical copy instead of a digital one. I really enjoyed the quotes that reminded me to do simple things to help me fall asleep. Sadly, it didn't put me to sleep because I was enjoying it too much! I think there is potential here for this book to work for many. I enjoyed it!

This Book Will Make You Fall Asleep by Andrews McMeel Publishing. Absolutely adored Kip and the flock. A fun and cute way to de-stress and unwind at the end of the day. Will be looking for the print book when it is published and will get a couple of extra copies for our sleep deprived friends.

Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

A cute little book but not quite the revelation I had hoped for.
It is filled with word searches, puzzles, spot the differences, quotes and lovely little illustrations.
However, it didn't really offer me anything I didn't already know or haven't already gotten elsewhere.
A nice little bedside book for hotels and B&Bs perhaps.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book is full of good quotes, fun puzzles and word searches, and especially adorable sheep to count or just enjoy. The tips aren't anything deep or new as far as help with dealing with insomnia but reading this cute book is at least relaxing.

I read this book after a good nights sleep.

This book will make you fall asleep. This is a title that over-reaches itself. The book however does not take itself too seriously or scientifically promises a magic cure for insomnia. That is the point where other fail.

This area of self-help guides is a thriving industry, addressing sleepless nights with numerous books and remedies to restore restful sleep
This book is not flippant in its approach; it is not making fun of the insomniac nor taking the issue lightly - it is just reverting to the old adage let’s count sheep. Indeed the fact such a book has been published acknowledges both the topic and the natural process sleep is to us all.

It introduces Kip the sheep and his number increases with each passing page. In between is worldly wisdom and sayings around the subject of nodding off. Humour is the driver of course; it is about having fun not at someone’s expense, but with them, to help bring about a relaxed mind and a tired body.
Filled with puzzles, word searches and the like, all are sleep orientated and focus on pillows and rest. Nothing too thought provoking, yet did I imagine the tasks were more demanding the further into the book, perhaps my tired brain was submitting and giving up the fight.
I have read a number of books on this subject. These take much longer to say the same things this simple book shares. None of these methods is guaranteed and despite its title, the complete answer for every case does not lie in these pages also. Yet, in not over dramatising the subject, I think this little book may be closer to the solution and bring some peace and stress free moments to bedtime.

Kip is now my sleep buddy. Every night I get into bed and count the sheep on the page, do one of the puzzles, count the sheep on the next page, turn the light off. Wish Kip and his woolly friend goodnight and I’m off to sleep. A simple idea but, it works for me!

My mother told me to follow my dreams so I took a nap.

A dreamy little book consisting of activities and quotes:

😴 Mazes
😴 Word search
😴 Spot the difference
😴 Quotes about sleeping
😴 Tips for better sleep

Oh and there's lots and lots of cute sheep!

Nothing ground-breaking as the tips are very basic e.g. dim your lights and use essential oils, but it's a quaint and quick read.

This book is super cute and I enjoyed it. It is a fun break and an easy way to help turn off those random thoughts that keep you up. I received this book from NetGalley for an honest review. I think it would make a fun stocking stuffer for all the busy people in your life.

Really really good, such a cute and clever concept. I love the sheep theme and how they keep multiplying with every page you turn, you can literally count sheep to fall asleep with this book. The simple and relaxing puzzles are a great idea but I think it could do with a few more. The illustrations are fun and I also like the quotes and tips. This book would make a great gift.

Dang, was not able to open this book to read/review. As a insomniac, I was looking forward to this too! Wishing a successful release. Have a great day.
