From the Author

If you’ve got insomnia, sleeping pills aren’t the only option. This book offers gentle, easy-to-learn exercises called mini-moves™ to help you fall asleep and stay asleep. These tiny movements of the eyes, lips, tongue, and fingers will relax your body, calm your mind, and lull you to sleep. This is a non-addictive, no-cost alternative to sleeping pills. And it really works.

How does it work? It’s a two-pronged approach. There are daytime mini-moves to help you recover from the stress of life, and night-time mini-moves to help you fall asleep, and stay sleep through the night. They work together to restore your natural sleep cycle.

The daytime mini-moves can be done anywhere, even at your desk or workstation or on a train, bus, or plane. All it takes is three to five minutes. Practice twice a day for three weeks, I can promise that your life will become noticeably more peaceful. When your life is more peaceful, your sleep is more peaceful.

The nighttime mini-moves are done right in your own bed. They effortlessly bring your body and mind to the point where you just naturally drift off to sleep. If you awaken during the night, you can do the same mini-moves again to return to sleep quickly and easily. And the great thing is, the movements are so small that not even your partner will notice you’re doing them. So why not give it a try? You have nothing to lose but those dark circles under your eyes!

49 of 52 people found the following review helpful By Michael D. Mckinley on January 9, 2007
Format: Paperback
I first came across this book at 3 am on another insomnia night and was impatient for a solution. I didn't want any more pills that made me feel drugged the next day. I didn't want any more useless sleep hygiene advice, which worked intermittently. I also didn't want to pay $2,000 for a sleep study that would tell me I needed more pills and better sleep hygiene! Having suffered from insomnia for eight years, I was ready for a real solution.

Two things caught my eye about this book. One, a large percentage of the reviewers were medical professionals who used the method in their practices. Two, the book suggested an approach that would actually relax the body and calm the mind, not drug it or try to control everything around it and hope it behaves. This was what I was looking for!

After trying the methods, I can confirm that they work spectacularly; however, I do have a word of caution on the methods. Follow the steps in the book as exactly as possible, and don't go on memory alone when first doing them. Doing them incorrectly--even slightly so--can give you poor results.

This book is incredible! I was beginning to think that sleeping poorly was a result of getting older(I am in my 30s). Now I know that you can learn to be a good sleeper just like you learn other things! Read it and enjoy.

As a very tired single mother of two, I have been using this method for a few years. It changed my relationship with sleep. Recently my 8 year old had a very painful infection and was unable to sleep. I did some of the techniques with her as she tried to relax. It worked! We both got a decent nights sleep.

Thank you.

Format: Paperback
For forty years, I have searched for ways to bring about healing and health in the individuals I worked with professionally. The ways I found that worked best all shared a basic characteristic: they were based on evoking, connecting, activating, and supporting what is naturally already within us. Exploring many methods, I selected only a few that excelled in this regard. From my own training with Michael Krugman, I know that what he teaches in this book is one of those methods. His knowledge of the problem and his successful experience with it is vast, and his every word of instruction is carefully thought through so as to be of maximum possible help to the reader.

Format: Paperback
Micheal Krugmans book "The Insomnia Solution" is a must have for anyone seeking to improve the quality or quantity of sleep they get. It delivers what it promises: real practical solutions for real people. The techniques in his Sounder Sleep System are pleasurable to do and can easily be integrated into the busiest schedule. I enjoyed following his clear simple intructions as much as I enjoyed the results. It is excellent for stress management. (I have also found it very helpful for clients coping with chronic pain.) It is a wonderful useful tool!

Format: Paperback
These wonderful tecniques in the book were invaluable these last couple of weeks. My youngest son has been very ill with a virus that completely disturbed his sleeping. We thought it would change, but didn't, so I taught him some of the Mini-moves in the book and he was able to relax and finally get the much needed rest he needed for healing.

The Sounder Sleep System(TM) is one of those rare methods that actually WORKS! After years of insomnia due to long work days and stress, I began attending Michael Krugman's workshops and was amazed that his easy mini-moves(TM) put me to sleep in bright daylight in a room surrounded by other insomniacs--now all asleep!

I was so impressed that I became a teacher of this system! Since then I find his work also helps my clients who suffer from tightness in the ribs, shallow breathing, stress--and, of course--insomnia.

The best-kept secret ( now a secret no longer) hidden in this book is this: when you can relax yourself often during the day, you can setttle into restorative rest much beter at night!

As a manual therapist, I recommend this material to all of my clients as the fastest and most effective way I've ever found to relax, refresh themselves and restore their vitality in the midst of a busy day.
