I will upgrade my review rating - if the advice works - rightfully, the book sets expectations this could take a year so I will be patient. Discovered this from a NYT article about the long journey to improve sleep that I've often shared with people (and refrence myself when I'm in a rut) and decided to read this book as source material the journalist references. The book seems like a light weight bridge between good sleep hygiene advice (common) and an intro to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for poor sleep. CBT has a bunch of studies that show it works, but I haven't found a program I could access easily to try CBT for my own sleep. I do believe the advice in the book, and identify as a poor sleeper, that by truly reframing myself as a good sleeper may work. Overall - good advice, quick read but could use a tight editor to pull this together more structurally and clean up the writing.
