Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Quiet Your Mind and Get to Sleep
Colleen Carney · 2009
87/100
👍 Worth It
CBT-I is the gold-standard non-medication treatment for chronic insomnia, and this workbook delivers it in a self-guided format with enough clinical depth to be genuinely useful rather than watered down. The fact that it addresses comorbid depression, anxiety, and chronic pain — the conditions that most often co-occur with insomnia — sets it apart from generic sleep hygiene books. ABCT endorsement is meaningful here.
