3.0 out of 5 stars Do I Hear 68?, January 7, 2003

By	William Hefner (EUREKA, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

67 Ways To Good Sleep is a cute little booklet that contains a number of useful suggestions on how to change your sleeping habits for the better.

If you're looking for exhaustive research on sleep disorders, etc., this is definitely not what you are looking for. Most of the sources quoted in the book seem to be culled from a variety of newspapers, magazine articles, self-help books, etc. Not exactly what you would call highly scientific.

Still, for the meager cover price, it does provide some useful tips and is probably worth the money for most. At the very least, I was bored enough after reading a few pages in order to get some rest.

The quality of this book reminds one of one of those little booklets you find at the check-out aisle at K-Mart or the local grocery store. Don't expect much. Still, I found enough of the information worth reading to give it three stars.

If you have not read any tips on how to improve your sleep, this may be an "eye opener" for you. If you have done any amount of research on the subject though, you should probably skip this book, as it covers no new ground, and has little content that one could label as "original".
