Everybody has a broken night's sleep once in a while, but one in three adults suffer from prolonged insomnia at some stage in their lives. Sleeping pills may be recommended during a short-term crisis but according to the Buteyko method, sleep problems are caused primarily by the all-too-common phenomenon of over-breathing. A simple course of exercises, which anyone can learn in a week, could teach sufferers to control their breathing and bring sound sleep to the most chronic of insomniacs.

From the Publisher
Everyone has a bad night’s sleep once in a while, but nearly one in three adults will suffer from prolonged insomnia at some stage in their lives. Sleeping pills may be recommended during a short–term crisis, and you can help yourself by not eating rich foods late at night, exercising regularly, and practicing relaxation techniques. But according to the Buteyko Method—used as a drug–free treatment for asthma and now better known as Breath Connection—sleep problems are caused by the all–too–common phenomenon of over–breathing. Freedom from Insomnia shows how a simple course of exercises can teach sufferers to control their breathing and bring sound sleep to the most chronic of insomniacs. Alexander Stalmatski, author of Freedom from Asthma, is based at the Hale Clinic in London.

5.0 out of 5 stars
It really works! Take back your sleep-- and your life! AND stop snoring..,
This review is from: Freedom from Insomnia: The Natural Way to Solve Sleep Problems (Paperback)
I've struggled on and off with insomnia for the last 18 months. I'm genetically predisposed to it, am naturally anxious. I am an obsessive stress-case, who can't shut my mind off. The Breath Connection described and prescribed in the book really really works. I have read almost everything on sleeplessness, tried all the herbs: Valerian, skullcap, melatonin 300 MICROgram very low does that MIT has prescribed as the right dose. But nothing worked long enough. I cannot take the "non-addictive" pills my physician prescribed for me. Even the homeopathy drops my naturopath gave me would work temporarily and then boom! The sleeplessness would come back again.. I was feeling very despondent but didn't know if sleep clinics were going to be the answer. Plus I would probably never get to sleep in a sleep clinic. Breath Connection has mitigated my anxiety even the back and shoulder pains when staying late at work--and snoring! The first few days you will feel "unusually energetic and well" and if you have been often groggy and tired in the morning this feeling is a bit weird. On the 3rd day I was sleeping, and if you wake up at night, you just go back to sleep. It is an excellent book, also for snoring. I stopped snoring to the delight of long suffering boyfriend! It's so simple, I do not even know if I'm doing the method perfectly but it works. I write this for all the people suffering from insomnia I hope you find the solution like I did.
