Break the cycle of anxious thinking and rumination that keeps you up at night. With this much-needed guide, you’ll learn to quiet your mind, relax your body, feel less tense, and finally get the sleep you need.
Sleep plays a crucial role in our waking lives. While we sleep, our bodies are recharging with energy, damaged tissue is repaired, and our memories are stored. When we don’t get enough sleep, we are tired, less positive, less motivated, less focused, and more likely to feel depressed. We may even experience more intense cravings for high-fat, sugar-rich foods. And yet, despite the myriad advantages of getting a good night’s sleep, countless people suffer from chronic insomnia. If you’re one of them, this book can help.
In this guide, a trained mindfulness expert teams up with a behavioral sleep specialist to offer evidence-based meditations and an innovative four-week protocol to address the emotional stresses and anxieties that lie at the root of sleep issues. You’ll learn practices grounded in mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), mindful self-compassion (MSC), and guided mindfulness and acceptance for insomnia (GMATI) to alleviate the mental, emotional, and physical suffering caused by insomnia. You’ll also learn to identify both internal and external factors that may be compromising your sleep, and develop a plan to address these issues.
There is nothing we can do to “make” ourselves fall asleep. In many ways, this is why insomnia can be so maddening. But what we can do is help create the conditions necessary for healthy slumber. The mindfulness tools in this book will help you do exactly that.

Game changer
I was having struggles with sleep for several months. I was in therapy and meditating regularly with only minor improvements. After reading this book my definition of mindfulness was completely reinvented, which in-turn greatly improved my sleep! I’d highly recommend this book to anyone with sleep struggles who has an open and willing mindset!

The premise seems good, but it just wasn’t effective for me. Maybe I’m just fed up with mindfulness/meditation… I’ve found writing using a guided worry journal (I use the Tiny Buddha’s one) before bed and getting more exercise helped more…

After years of tossing and turning, I was at desperate–poor sleep was definitely contributing to exhaustion and poor mental function (especially bad for me as an older adult). I was fortunate to be able to work directly with Dr. Moorcroft (one of the authors of Mindfulness for Insomnia). After only 1 week of practicing the exercises, sleep was greatly improved. After all four weeks of the program. I am sleeping well almost all nights, and if I do wake up, I use strategies recommended in the book to easily get back to sleep.The practices introduced to me by Dr. Moorcroft were well explained and expanded in the book. Having the book (and access to the numerous resources on the New Harbinger website), I am 100% confident that I have all the tools I need to sleep well for the rest of my life. Honestly, if you have sleep troubles, this book and its practices can change your life in a very short period of time–they are a life saver! Many thanks to the authors and to the publisher!

The practices include understanding the value of accepting what is as it is, and that “it” is not all that “I” am, and learning to find compassion for yourself. So it helped me with the underlying problems that led to insomnia.

The book is great, but the two copies of Mindfulness for Insomnia were delivered in a paper bag outside the garage door, not at either the front or back door. It must have been delivered late in the day after which time no one entered or left the house. It rained and when I went to get the back it was wet. When I ripped it open the white stuffing of the bag went all over and I discovered the two copies of the book, though dry to the touch, had gotten all warped in shape from being inside the wet bag. One: wrong type of bag was used. Two: Should have been delivered to a front or back doorway, followed by a ringing of the doorbell. I was going to give one copy as a gift but it’s too wilted looking.
