: Hi Joan,

: This program absolutely helped me
: change my sleep problems. When I
: arrived here my sleep had been
: disturbed for years. Sleep
: deprivation is an awful thing. Now
: I sleep like a rock! It used to be
: that the slightest sound would
: wake me (in a terrible mood I
: might add). My daughter has
: commented over and over her
: surprise at how soundly I sleep
: now.

: So, here are the threads that I had
: to look at to get to this place of
: wonderful sleep:

: 1. Do the program step by step. Its
: pretty much a miracle. I am now
: working my way through the steps a
: second time around, but still my
: sleep is good.
: 2. Eliminate all sources of light in
: the room. No street lights, no
: bright alarm clocks, no cell phone
: lights.
: 3. Take all electronics away from my
: body, at least 6 ft. away.
: 4. This one was hard! - not let my
: cats sleep with me any more. When
: I finally added this piece, I
: achieved the sweetest sleep ever.

: Best of luck, Hilda
Thanks, Hilda. It is so encourageing to hear about other's solving their sleep problems. I will also use the tips---except for the cats. I have no cats, but I used to, so I know that one's hard. I enjoyed sleeping with them, but didn't have insomnia at that time.
