Artemiss Keyhani LIFEBLOCKERS: The Sleep Edition is a fantastic resource for people having sleep difficulties. It's written in the format of a standalone self-help guide but as it's based on evidence-based practice, I also find it is a very useful adjunct to therapy. Dr. Nejad is able to put quality, evidence-based material into an easy, accessible written format. Her easygoing style makes this book very readable and I can (and have) confidently recommended it to clients. Dr Robyn Gallucci, Clinical Psychologist Great content, to the point, and quick read - now time to implement! Great book that gets right to the point. Provides a variety of solutions and methods to go about your insomnia issue - some I've heard before, some I haven't (yay for new content!).

I will use this book as a quick guide to loan to clients experiencing sleep difficulties but also even as a quick check that I have covered everything I need to have. Well worth your time. Dr. Julie King, Clinical Psychologist I enjoyed this book about insomnia. Especially the detailed information about Melatonin. I have been taking Melatonin for many years and didn't know a lot of the things Lillian covered about it. The book was very easy to read and understand. It was very informative and I highly recommend it. Tanya Paquette This book is extremely helpful. It provides everyday, practical tips for battling insomnia without resorting to temporary fixes such as medication or supplements. And cheddar cheese -- who knew?!? Christopher Harne Best book I've read for insomnia. Recommend it highly. Hani
