👍 Worth It
Professor Colin Espie is one of the people who built the evidence base for CBT-I, which is now the internationally recommended first-line treatment for chronic insomnia — not a sleeping pill, not a supplement, not a podcast. This book translates that gold-standard research into a structured, practical program with sleep diaries and step-by-step guidance. If you struggle with chronic insomnia and want the approach your sleep specialist would recommend, this is exactly where to start.
