I mope through a day's work and haven't had a promotion in years. . . . It's like I'm being sucked dry, eaten away, swallowed up, coming unglued. . . . These are voices of a few of the tens of millions who suffer from chronic insomnia. In this revelatory book, Gayle Greene offers a uniquely comprehensive account of this devastating and little-understood condition. She has traveled the world in a quest for answers, interviewing neurologists, sleep researchers, doctors, psychotherapists, and insomniacs of all sorts. What comes of her extraordinary journey is an up-to-date account of what is known about insomnia, providing the information every insomniac needs to know to make intelligent choices among medications and therapies. Insomniac is at once a field guide through the hidden terrain inhabited by insomniacs and a book of consolations for anyone who has struggled with this affliction that has long been trivialized and neglected.]]> 746234 3.71 48 13 2008 0 2009-03-25T15:45:54-07:00 549760 26 2009-03-25T15:45:54-07:00 5 0 false Sat Oct 03 05:58:14 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 25 15:45:40 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 03 05:58:14 -0700 2009
