Sleep better in five weeks? How is that possible when you haven't had a full night's sleep in months? One thing is certain: a few sleep tips alone won't be enough. Psychiatrist, coach, and mental trainer Dr. Heinz-Wilhelm Gössling presents a clearly and entertainingly written exercise program in this book. It provides a deeper understanding of how our internal day-night clock works and the psychological factors that contribute to good sleep. The core of the program consists of instructions for various forms of scientifically proven, easily learnable self-hypnosis. The five-week phases of the program are coordinated and address the most important aspects of sleep disorders: In the first week, you will learn how to turn off the racing thoughts that prevent you from (re)falling asleep.
