Product Description

Everybody has a broken night's sleep once in a while, but one in three adults suffer from prolonged insomnia at some stage in their lives. Sleeping pills may be recommended during a short-term crisis but according to the Buteyko method, sleep problems are caused primarily by the all-too-common phenomenon of over-breathing. A simple course of exercises, which anyone can learn in a week, could teach sufferers to control their breathing and bring sound sleep to the most chronic of insomniacs.

Unsupported crank theory
This book presents a peculiar theory of insomnia (and a great many other ailments) without the support of lab tests or medical evidence. It amounts to a series of assertions that deep breathing causes all sorts of ailments, and that they can all be cured by training oneself to breathe more shallowly, and by a series of exercises involving exhaling and not breathing in for as long as possible. Avoid.
