Very helpful resource
14 July 2000
Format:Paperback
I bought this book several years ago when I first became aware that I was having chronic problems with sleeping. I finally pulled it off my shelf about a month ago and read it. I have found it to be extremely helpful.
Chopra begins by encouraging the reader to consider the connection between waking life and sleeping life, and also the connection between our own biorythms and the rythms of nature.
He then writes about sleep and how to make it restful again rather than stressful. His style is very relaxed and easy to understand. He takes an ayurvedic (the ancient tradition of Indian medicine) approach to helping solve sleep disorders. I was not familiar with the ayurveda prior to reading this book, and really enjoyed learning a little bit about it. As a reader I did not feel that Chopra was trying to convert me, just help me. And - I feel that he did.

Lot of useful information!
25 Sep 2006
Format:Paperback
I sometimes have trouble sleeping . . . not so much getting to sleep, but
staying asleep . . . so when I saw RESTFUL SLEEP by Deepak Chopra,
I jumped at the opportunity to listen to the program.
Subtitled THE COMPLETE MIND/BODY PROGRAM FOR OVERCOMING
INSOMNIA, it delivered a great deal of information . . . but this was not
surprising because Chopra tends to do that with every book and/or tape
he comes out with . . . in my opinion, this was one of his best.
I particularly liked how he backed up his ideas with insights from
Ayurevda, the ancient Indian science of life.
There were many tidbits I gained from listening; among them:
* You can't force yourself to sleep.
* Trying to sleep will not help; it will actually aggravate the
insomnia.
* Turn your clock to the wall. Don't be concerned with the time.
* The solution to all sleep problems is making the period of being
awake totally dynamic and satisfying.
* Lunch should be your heaviest meal of the day.
* Supper should be light and eaten early.
* Take a short stroll after dinner.
* Avoid watching TV at night. If you must, stop by 9 p.m.
* Best to go asleep before 10 p.m., according to the rhythms of
nature.
* Rising earlier will lead to an earlier time for going to bed.
* Wake up at a regular time every day.
* Do reading in a room other than the bedroom.
* Making your bed each day creates an orderly and harmonious
impression when you go to sleep.
* Extract of lavender is considered helpful for sleep.
* Ask yourself: Do you love your job? Are you really happy?
If "yes" to both those questions, then it is likely to will avoid
most heart and other health problems.

Like Deepak, but save your money
4 Nov 2011
If you have insomnia, and have ordered other audios to help you sleep, don't mistake this for one of them. It is instructional only, read in a daytime voice that you would listen and make notes to during the day. For me, it was a waste of money. I saw positive reviews by people I would have to guess did not have insomnia/sleep anxiety. Deepak Chopra is a wonderful narrator on every other audio I have, except this one. Save your money.
