5.0 out of 5 stars SATIATED, May 24, 2001

Ms. Stern is a saint. My wife and I have both had bouts with sleeplessness due in part to our "work-a-day" schedules. YAWN appeared on the bed stand one night and Tillie (my wife) and I have read one another to sleep using Ms. Stern's wit and wisdom on many occasions. After tapping into a bit of Ellen Sue's psyche with YAWN, Tillie brought home another of Ms. Sterns books,"Loving the Imperfect Man." WOW! New understanding, rekindled relationship, and new found love. No more sleepless nights. We are happy! Thank you Ellen Sue Stern!

5.0 out of 5 stars better than melatonin and valarian, November 7, 2000

When I can't sleep I turn to this book. It knocks me out and at times I find myself laughing myself to sleep. A great gift for insomniacs or a reference tool for annoying partners who want to talk before bed. This will put them to sleep in a heartbeat. Yawn is a real sleeper!

FROM THE PUBLISHER
Few things are more frustrating than lying awake at night. All insomniacs know the cardinal rule for getting some Zs: Don't just lie there waiting for sleep - do something about it.
In Yawn: Bedtime Reading for Insomniacs, author Ellen Sue Stern invites you to:

Lean back into a down pillow and consider what golf strategies should be employed in the rain.
Nestle in more deeply as you commit to memory the particulars of the "correct" way to eat spaghetti.
Yawn softly while you peruse the fine print of airline ticket sale literature.
Consider in detail the physiological reasons behind male pattern baldness.
Pepeat what NASA tells its astronauts to help them fall into weightless sleep.
You might not remember everything you've read, but you may find the answers to your dreams - a good night's sleep.
