New Book Guaranteed to Put You to Sleep

Dynamic Sleep Treatment Exposes
Connection Between Insomnia And Sleep Disordered Breathing

 New Discovery Redefines the Medical Approach to Insomnia Treatment 

(Albuquerque, NM) – Sleeping pills: the solution or the problem?  Massive ad campaigns by Big Pharma would have us believe sleeping pills are the miracle cure for insomnia.  Manyinsomniacs fall in lock-step embracing sleeping pills as a wonder drug, convinced their sleeplessness is all about stress and psychological issues.  Remarkably, scientific trials of sleep medications confirm that pills frequently fail to treat, let alone cure, insomnia.  Why do pills fall short?  Simply put, drugs do not target the most common, yet most overlooked cause of insomnia. 

 In his revolutionary new book, SOUND SLEEP, SOUND MIND: 7 Keys to Sleeping Through the Night (Wiley, October, 2007, $24.95/cloth, ISBN: 978-0-471-65064-5), Barry Krakow, MD, describes how the physical root cause of insomnia is sleep-disordered breathing, and this physiological disorder must be tackled along with other mental and emotional factors.  This complex mind-body paradigm of insomnia, prevalent in the vast majority of troubled sleepers, explains why sleep drugs rarely if ever deliver the magic 8 hours of sleep.

 “Quick-fix” sleep aids not only yield few cures, they actually conceal the underlying impact of sleep breathing on insomnia.  Indeed, pills don’t fix sleep Apnea, so how can Big Pharma hope to cure something if it never treats the cause?  The pill pathway leads patients and physicians to routinely ignore the dramatic sleep disruption triggered by sleep breathing problems.  And, this ignorance leads to delays in proper diagnosis and therapy and ultimately aggravation and worsening of insomnia. 

 Sound Sleep, Sound Mind is the first book of its kind to target this startling connection between insomnia and the prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing. With more than a decade of peer-reviewed and published medical research on a vast array of insomnia patients, Dr. Krakow proposes a new and transformative approach to chronic sleeplessness.  “Instead of grasping at pills, we must delve deeper into the complex nature of this vexing disorder to provide a cure for the millions of insomnia sufferers.” 

 Dr. Krakow is pleased to share more information about his seven-step, mind-body, drug-free treatment, known as Sleep Dynamic Therapy®.  Through his book, Sound Sleep, Sound Mind, Dr. Krakow sends a clear message to our restless population: “it’s time to wake up, throw out the pills, and get the quality sleep you deserve.”
