2.0 out of 5 stars Video lacks substantive detail, April 13, 2008

By	Alan Math (Provo, UT) - See all my reviews

The video "Insomnia" from the Mayo Clinic wellness solutions series provides some practical advise for dealing with insomnia, but lacks specific detail. A portion of the video gives general advise about eating healthy food that applies to all aspects of health and is not particular to insomnia. A portion of the video shows an extremely fit yoga master sitting in a cross legged position that would probably cripple me. While yoga seems like a good idea for physical and emotional health, the sitting position of this yoga master is simply unrealistic for most people. The discussion of conventional therapies is so vague as to be essentially useless. This video doesn't provide as much education about the subject as I had hoped and left me disappointed with the lack of substance.
