"This is the first sleep guide I've seen that's geared to women and addresses our unique needs and concerns. It's got solid information on why we have sleep problems and smart solutions. I recommend you use it to help you have a good night and sleep tight!"
-- Judith Reichman, M.D., author of I'm Too Young to Get Old: Health Care for Women After Forty

"At last! Here is a sourcebook by women, for women, about the problems we have with sleep because of our biology and social roles as caretakers. Dr. Walsleben has brought together a wealth of information and advice on how to make the most of our precious time off, the gift of sleep. If you no longer sleep like a baby, this book will help you understand why and the many ways you can improve it."
-- Rosalind Cartwright, Ph.D., director, Sleep Disorder Service and Research Center, Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center

"Walsleben and Baron-Faust have written a book that every grandmother, mother, daughter, in other words, every woman should read. Whether we are experiencing sleep problems ourselves or whether we have female friends or family members with sleep problems, this book addresses the issues. It is written in a readable, understandable, even engrossing fashion. With so many millions of women with sleep problems, this book will help any who take the time to read it achieve a good night's rest."
-- Sonia Ancoli-Israel, Ph.D., professor of psychiatry, University of California School of Medicine, and author of All I Want Is a Good Night's Sleep

"I enjoyed the book tremendously. Dr. Walsleben's direct, no-nonsense approach is refreshing. The material is comprehensive -- from childbirth to menopause, children to partners to parents, medical prescriptions to medicinal herbs to common sense. Her message is make sleep a priority; and she presents ways to achieve this goal and gives women her permission to do so! She takes us from you-go girl to get-sleep girl!  I will not only recommend this book to friends, I'll give it to them."
-- Mary A. Carskadon, Ph.D., director, Sleep Research Laboratory, E. P. Bradley Hospital
