Rating: Summary: The best book about insomnia that I've ever read! Review: Desperately Seeking Snoozin' is by far the best book I've read about insomnia. Unlike other books written on insomnia, this book leaves you feeling like there is hope and control over your sleep disorder.It's about time someone who has actually suffered from long term, cronic insomnia, and has overcome it, has written a book about the subject. Other books are written by people with no first hand experiential knowledge of the subject. They seem to be oblivious as to the devastation insomnia can inflict upon someones life and have a one size fits all approach in dealing with the problem, rather then an individualized plan of treatment, which is available in the book. This is a refreshing approach to a serious condition. The book is well written, compationate, positive, humorous and powerful. This is a book every insomnia sufferer should read. There is hope and this book is the key to unlocking that potential.
Rating: Summary: Looking for Sleep? It's Here! Review: For me, the great thing about this book is that I didn't need it for very long: four days, to be exact. Just doing everything the author recommends had such a positive impact on my life that I almost wish all my friends were insomniacs so that I could recommend the book to them. I guess I will just have to say that when God pointed me to John's book, a prayer had been answered. Try the book, you have nothing to loose but insomnia. (And thank you God...and John).
Rating: Summary: Worth the Overnight Shipping to Have This One Tomorrow! Review: Great book. If you're reading this and struggling with Insomnia, run to the phone and buy it now. It worked for me and can work for you!
Rating: Summary: "Desperately Seeking Snoozin" a Winner Review: I am a former insomniac that has been to two sleep clinics. I found John Wiedman's book tremendously helpful. The book is a commmon sense approach for dealing with a sleep problem that is behavioral based. I found the advise easy to follow. Certainly sleep clinic are helpful. However, this would be my first stop before laying down thousands of dollars. This book offered me a "cure". I would encourage ohers who suffer from insomnia to give it a try.
Rating: Summary: It really really works! Review: I found "Desperately Seeking Snoozin'" during random Internet searches of 'insomnia' last summer when I experienced a long stretch of sleep difficulties. The book provided the encouraging pep talks I needed to take a constructive, proactive approach to the sleep problem. The combination of John Weidman's friendly, caring approach and learning about the basics of sleep took away the worry that I'd never find good sleep again. I followed his suggested techniques and am happy to report that I'm sleeping well again. I highly recommend this book if you want to help yourself deal with your sleep problem in a sensible way. And it doesn't hurt to have someone like John rooting for you throughout his book!
Rating: Summary: BOOK REVIEW Review: I read Desperately Seeking Snoozin over the Christmas holidays after just experiencing three long grueling months of not being able to sleep. I have read a lot of books on sleeping in the past and this is the first book I have read that actually helped. I have tried everything that is suggested in the book and it has really made a world of difference. I go to bed later than I was going to bed before and I get up at the same time each and every morning. I have a hot bath before bed and I try the relaxation exercises in bed. The book really changed my life. My sleeping difficulties were hindering my performance at work and it was affecting my marriage. I have also started exercising on a regular basis which has a made a tremendous difference in my life. I am in the process of recommending this book to all my friends and colleagues who are also experiencing sleep problems.
Rating: Summary: the absolute best of it's kind Review: I read this book in a desperate attempt to alleviate the chronic insomnia that had plauged me since the birth of my daughter. It was the only book of it's kind (I purchased two others) that made me feel genuine hopefulness about my condition. Mr. Wiedman does not make light of insomnia - to the contrary, he sincerely understands what you are going through. This man has been through some truly hard times and you can sense his compassion and desire to help others. This is what sets the book apart. I both laughed and cried while reading this book; it is very cathartic and reads like a novel at times. Although you may find other books containing more technical information, this book will give you that human touch that no other can provide. My insomnia is gone, and even better, I no longer feel anxious about the occasional sleepless night. THANK YOU Mr. Wiedman, you have helped me tremendously. I cannot reccomend this book highly enough to anyone struggling with sleep.

Rating: Summary: Excellent Book For Insomnia! Review: I would recommend this book to anyone who is suffering from insomnia. The book will be particularly helpful for those that know there is no physical or mental problem keeping them from sleeping. In many cases, there is no physical or mental reason for the insomnia except for the fear of going to sleep. This book is perfect for helping you overcome the fear of bedtime and the anxiety that that comes with it. The book is a simple behavior modification technique that is easy to follow but produces results quickly. Best of all...it is drug free. I recommended this book to my family doctor and many friends that have struggled with insomnia. It can help you with not falling asleep, early awakenings, and trouble going back to sleep. I would also like to compliment Mr. John Wiedman. After reading the book, I was still struggling with sticking with the program. He supported me through email which motivated me to stick with it. He is an extremely caring man with a great story to tell. He overcame insomnia and wants to help you do the same. This book gave me my life back!
Rating: Summary: Poorly written but helpful. Review: I've had insomnia for many years & have taken many different anti-depressants for all those years. I received the book not long ago. I agree this is a book with both serious and humorous sides of sleep disorders. There are different things people can do to help with sleep problems-easy to understand and follow.
