Buddha's Book of Sleep: Sleep Better in Seven Weeks with Mindfulness Meditation Paperback – 27 December 2012

A simple book written in a simple manner for easy understanding ....well spaced out print and pages....more like a book to soothe than a book full of information and instruction loaded pages

Among many books read on mindfulness ,I find this book as more practical. I really find huge difference in workplace and also at home.

Best solutions mentioned

This great little volume shows easy tools especially mindfulness to help one get better rest. It is very practical and an easy read. The author studied with Thich Nhat Hanh so that alone says a lot. Super, helpful book.

Love it!!!! Made a big difference for me in the way I approached sleep. After going through stress keeping me awake then stressing about sleep, it was like I needed to relearn how to sleep. This book has given me the tools for that. Other books had the right idea but I needed something simple and straight forward. This is more of what I need it. I haven't even finished it yet my sleep has improved so much. I carry it with me for when I have a chance to read through it.

I slept very well the first night I bought this book, however that may have just been coincidence. I am acquainted with the work of Thich Nhat Hanh and this book skilfully employs his gatha's to enable you to calm your mind down. It also analyses various sleep patterns, those of us who wake up in the middle of the night for example are invited to settle down with meditation, I personally do this after I have read for a bit. I have not yet finished it and it is set out in weekly exercises so it will take some time to work through it properly. I understand it takes about 28 days to re-programme the mind to accept a new habit but I find this book is to my taste and although it is by a Buddhist writer it is generalised, so is useful in that way.

interesting

one suggestion ;keeping your eyes opened, instead of doing the obvious, closing eyes curling up and praying for sleep--- eyes opened REALLY worked, but it's so tiring--- hmmmm, maybe that;s the magic
