This book will sure help you with your sleep
Have you ever wondered what scientists find when they deprive people of sleep for days? You'll find the amazing answer here -- they get tired. Ever wondered what happens if snoring is corrected by surgery? Believe it or not, people sleep better. A long collection of obvious and common sense ideas are expounded here, and supported painstakingly by experimental evidence. A better cure for insomnia would be hard to find.

Never understimate the value of sleep
This is an AMAZING book. It was originally recommended to me by my sleep doctor, but once I began reading it, I could not put the book down. I never realized how important sleep was to an individuals well being, and at the same time, how mysterious sleep still is. This is a must read for everyone!

Every person who can read should read this book!
The Promise of Sleep should be a number one bestseller, worldwide. It is one of those books that has a long-lasting impact on one's life. Much in this book benefits those without sleep disorders as well. We owe Dr. Dement our gratitude for providing this valuable information. Thank you, Dr. Dement!

An extremely well written and extra helpful guide on sleep.
I have been researching the field of sleep for some time, and this is truly the best book yet that I have found on this elusive subject. William Dement and co-author Christopher Vaughan have outdone themselves in not only offering an authoritative and informational guide, but a truly interesting and fascinating account of their many years in this field. The average reader will not be bogged down with formulas and EEG readings, but with common sense and down to earth advice on managing your sleep. William Dement focuses a great deal on the problem of a sleep deprived society, and teaches you a simple, easy to manage way to determine if you are one of the billions who owe a large 'sleep-debt', and if you are, how to miraculously (well, almost) 'work it off' and become a healthier, happier individual. It was truly amazing to me what a difference the right amount and quality of sleep can make in a person's life, and how relatively simple it is to obtain it. If you feel you have a sleep problem, this is most definitely the book for you. It has wonderful insights into the amazing world of sleep and offers the most solid and focused guidelines to improve your sleep habits that I have ever come across. A definite 5 star winner, a not-to-be-missed book!
