Sleep and Relaxation
Barbara L. Heller · 1999
60/100
👎 Skip It
A credentialed author in a trusted Storey Publishing series gives this 32-page pamphlet a leg up over generic wellness content, but 32 pages is genuinely thin for a topic that benefits from depth, and the herbal advice is now over 25 years old. Fine as a quick introduction, but readers who actually struggle with sleep deserve a more current, more comprehensive resource.
