I can think of half a dozen people who ve come back perfectly happy that they don t need any drugs. I can think of two who stopped using drugs. And I can t think of anyone who did want drugs later. I just hand the program to people who have trouble sleeping. I get very positive comments from them.
People are just amazed and delighted to discover that they can actually stop worrying in bed.
It is a practical program which gets to the heart of the problem, and it is suitable for self-administration. My clients find the program is really easy to understand and follow. There's a nice balance between having clear rules, and yet allowing for individual differences. The sleep diary has been particularly useful, also the Nine Rules for Better Sleep. In general, I've found it is a really efficient and cost-effective treatment for people with sleep problems.
