Now there is a rush of scientific links between insomnia and dire medical consequences. That's not going to put our sleepless minds at rest. so much sleep-advice is the same-old, same-old. the only truly new and somewhat mind-boggling approach seems to come from a Dr. Siegfried Haug. (I Want to Sleep-Unlearning Insomnia).

We need to stop fighting and learn how to actively pursue/embrace sleep instead. a very exciting new idea. There are few people left who doubt the importance of sleep.
