About This Book

A practical manual for treating sleeplessness that reviews prevailing theories and characterizes sleep as the resting time of consciousness while identifying common physical and psychological causes of insomnia. It favors drugless remedies, detailing removal of physical contributors, relaxation techniques, rhythmic breathing, auto-suggestion, and a faith-informed Emmanuel clinic method, with concrete step-by-step directions and secondary aids. The author offers guidance for physicians and lay workers, stresses patient cooperation, and presents illustrative clinical cases and results. Interspersed commentary examines the value and limits of medication and aims to restore wholesome, natural sleep.
