Excerpt from Sleep and the Sleepless: Simple Rules for Overcoming Insomnia The aim of this book is to help sleepless people to cure themselves, to tell them practically and specifically what should be done in the way of food, exercise, baths, dress, and mental attitude that they may capture sleep. The book is essentially practical and free from puzzling scientific terms. It sets forth what can be done by each for himself without the help of nurse or doctor. Although addressed to the layman in his own tongue and free from technical terms, it is based upon the latest results of scientific study and represents the essence of a wide experience. It constitutes a reliable handbook for insomniacs who, if they follow it as a guide, should find relief and ultimate cure.
