Break the cycle of anxious thinking and rumination that keeps you up at night. With this much-needed guide, you’ll learn to quiet your mind, relax your body, feel less tense, and finally get the sleep you need. Sleep plays a crucial role in our waking lives. While we sleep, our bodies are recharging with energy, damaged tissue is repaired, and our memories are stored. When we don't get enough sleep, we are tired, less positive, less motivated, less focused, and more likely to feel depressed. We may even experience more intense cravings for high-fat, sugar-rich foods. And yet, despite the myriad advantages of getting a good night's sleep, countless people suffer from chronic insomnia. If you’re one of them, this book can help. In this guide, a trained mindfulness expert teams up with a behavioral sleep specialist to offer evidence-based meditations and an innovative four-week protocol to address the emotional stresses and anxieties that lie at the root of sleep issues. You’ll learn practices grounded in mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), mindful self-compassion (MSC), and guided mindfulness and acceptance for insomnia (GMATI) to alleviate the mental, emotional, and physical suffering caused by insomnia. You’ll also learn to identify both internal and external factors that may be compromising your sleep, and develop a plan to address these issues. There is nothing we can do to “make” ourselves fall asleep. In many ways, this is why insomnia can be so maddening. But what we can do is help create the conditions necessary for healthy slumber. The mindfulness tools in this book will help you do exactly that.

Based on the latest advances in sleep research and Dr. Peters' extensive clinical experience in treating sleep disorders, this self-guided program can help to resolve chronic insomnia. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) is often structured as a 6-week treatment program that can help people who have difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or find that sleep is unrefreshing. CBTI is scientifically proven, highly effective, and does not rely on medications. CBTI has life-long benefits and most participants report improved sleep satisfaction. Insomnia Solved is based on the core features of this treatment:-Education on normal sleep and the factors that affect sleep quality and quantity-Identifying triggers of insomnia as well as ways that these can be defused-Review of the circadian rhythm and homeostatic sleep drive and how these impact sleep-Overview of sleeping pills and how tolerance reduces their effectiveness-Developing healthy and effective sleep behaviors-Learning skills to calm the mind and manage stress-Individualized sleep-wake schedule program-Eliminating thoughts, behaviors, and feelings that compromise sleep-Coping strategies to respond to sleep loss and preserve daytime functionIf basic sleep advice worked, you wouldn't be here.

Over the past several years, he has helped hundreds of people with insomnia resolve their condition. He now leads a group CBTI workshop at Virginia Mason in Seattle. Who benefits?
