Editorial Reviews

"Dreams don't make much sense do they?" The Sleep and Insomnia films collection is a rare glimpse into the past when sleeping disorders were becoming acknowledged as a widespread problem. Research and science have explained lots about sleeping and dreaming since the 50's, but these fascinating film attempted to explain how to get good sleep, what dreams are, and how to cure insomnia, with the limited research that was available at the time. Temperature of the room and sheets, relaxation, softness of mattresses, and lighting are all focus points to good sleep. Table Of Contents: (1) Sleep For Health (1950) - Dreamy film about how good sleeping habits should begin at home when children are young because good sleep is vital to a happy lifestyle. No details are left out in this film that even discusses how the right sheets and mattresses should feel - 11 Minutes (2) Insomnia (1945) - Features an old Donald Duck cartoon, but mainly follows around a young mechanic who fears he may die from insomnia. Strange film claims relaxing will and releasing tension will solve sleeping disorder - 19 Minutes (3) Rest And Health (1949) - John eats right, is in great shape, doesn't drink coffee, alcohol or smoke, so why is he feeling so down all the time? Yes, that's right.....he cant get any good sleep - 10 Minutes
