Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Pocket Idiot's Guide to a Good Night's Sleep
Martin C. Moore-Ede · 1999
60/100
👎 Skip It
Moore-Ede's Harvard credentials in circadian rhythm research give this pocket guide more scientific grounding than most in the genre, and the coverage of sleep environment, jet lag, and natural remedies is practical and sensible. But a 1999 publication date means the pharmacological sections in particular are likely outdated, and there are more current, well-reviewed sleep books available today.
