"Carney and Manber have written an incredibly useful guide book for
individuals with insomnia, especially insomnia that occurs with
depression, pain, and anxiety. It is full of practical strategies
and tools for self-care, clearly explained, with great examples
from real insomnia sufferers. Quiet Your Mind and Get to Sleep
walks you through all the key elements of behavioral treatment that
you would get from a sleep specialist. I will definitely recommend
it to my patients with insomnia."
--Daniel J. Buysse, MD, professor of psychiatry and clinical and
translational science at the University of Pittsburgh School of
Medicine
"Colleen Carney and Rachel Manber clearly understand the broad
domain of insomnia and the suffering it causes. Their book reflects
the authors' deep knowledge of sleep medicine and their experience
treating hundreds of insomnia sufferers. It will no doubt help
millions more as it clearly explains not only what to do, but also
why. I sincerely wish Quiet Your Mind and Get to Sleep had been
available sooner."
--William C. Dement, MD, Ph.D., professor of psychiatry and sleep
medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine and author of
The Promise of Sleep
"People with insomnia have been told for years that insomnia will
go away if they get treatment for depression, anxiety, or pain, and
this often does not happen. What is needed is a straightforward
practical guide to solving their sleep issues, and these two
leading experts in comorbid insomnias deliver. Quiet Your Mind and
Get to Sleep is sensitive to the types of challenges faced by
people with complicated health issues while taking a no-nonsense
approach to eliminating the factors known to perpetuate sleep
problems. The chapters and worksheets are interactive--it is like
having access to your own therapist. This is a timely and truly
essential book for anyone who suffers from insomnia and those who
love them."
--Jack D. Edinger, Ph.D., CBSM, clinical professor in the
department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Duke University
Medical Center and senior psychologist at Durham VA Medical
Center
"What can compare in beneficent impact on our minds and moods with
a good night's sleep? In Quiet Your Mind and Get to Sleep, Carney
and Manber do a masterful job of digesting the latest science for
lay readers interested in improving their sleep. A unique feature
of this work is its thorough treatment of the complicating factors
of mood disturbances and chronic pain. This book stakes out an
important place in sleep and health literature."
--Steven H. Woodward, Ph.D., director of the Sleep Research
Laboratory, National Center for PTSD
Dr. Rachel Manber's new book Quiet Your Mind and Get to Sleep is
the next best thing one can do after travelling to Stanford
University to receive her insomnia therapy. She is a one of the
world's experts in insomnia research and a master of creating
personalized, creative, and effective treatment plans for insomnia.
Her methods go above and beyond the usual don't read in bed
techniques and translate into results. This book is important
because education is a key component to treating insomnia.
--Meredith Broderick, MD Medical Director of the Sleep Center at
Minor and James Medical A Swedish Health Partner
