Freedom from Insomnia: The Natural Way to Solve Sleep Problems

Everyone has a bad night’s sleep once in a while, but nearly one in three adults will suffer from prolonged insomnia at some stage in their lives. Sleeping pills may be recommended during a short–term crisis, and you can help yourself by not eating rich foods late at night, exercising regularly, and practicing relaxation techniques. But according to the Buteyko Method—used as a drug–free treatment for asthma and now better known as Breath Connection—sleep problems are caused by the all–too–common phenomenon of over–breathing. Freedom from Insomnia shows how a simple course of exercises can teach sufferers to control their breathing and bring sound sleep to the most chronic of insomniacs. Alexander Stalmatski, author of Freedom from Asthma, is based at the Hale Clinic in London.
