Book Review: How to Overcome Insomnia All By Yourself by Antoinetta Vogels

Insomniacs searching for a way to help themselves will find How to Overcome Insomnia All By Yourself by Antoinetta Vogels a helpful resource.

Chapter by chapter the reader learns about the Sense of Self method that Vogels created based upon her own experiences and desire to cure herself of the inability to get a good night's rest. How self-image affects your sleep cycle, the importance of changing your behavior, how fear and anger impact our ability to fall asleep and stay asleep, and more are found within the pages of this book. 

For someone like me who has struggled to get a good night's sleep for decades, I was eager to read about this outside of the box approach. Not that doctors aren't helpful, but sometimes more needs to be considered than take melatonin, set up a sleep schedule, and turn off the screen one hour before bedtime. The last year suffering with tinnitus has only made my insomnia worse. I look forward to putting the advice in this book into practice. 

This thought-provoking self-help book makes you consider the psychological aspects of your life that can impact your ability to fall asleep and stay asleep. Each chapter ends with a summary of the highlights, and the reader finds exercises and activities along the way. The various appendices explain different types of insomnia, psycho-emotional stress insomnia, and sabotaging your sense of self. 

Definitely a worthy read for insomnia sufferers looking for a different approach to tackle this issue.
