Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Healing Night
Rubin R. Naiman · 2006
74/100
👍 Worth It
Rubin Naiman brings genuine clinical credentials — a Fellow of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine working at Andrew Weil's integrative medicine center — and pairs them with an unusually thoughtful treatment of sleep's spiritual and psychological dimensions. His argument that artificial light has eroded our relationship with night is more resonant than ever, and the natural, non-pharmaceutical approach will appeal to readers tired of being told to take a pill. The 2009 revision date is a real limitation as sleep science has advanced, but the integrative framework remains distinctive.
