(March

SLEEP: A Cleveland Clinic Guide (Cleveland Clinic
Press; January 2006) by: Nancy Foldvary, D.O. is one of a
series of new books written by physicians from the
world-renowned Cleveland Clinic. Through true cases of victims
or a wide range of problems from simple insomnia to dangerous
sleepwalking, it provides a straightforward and clear

We write off
restless nights as a way of life, not realizing that sleep
ranks in importance with diet and exercise as vital to our
health. Many Americans — 70 million of us, to be exact — are
sleep-deficient. We often regard sleep as not critical but
extracurricular and optional. This attitude is dangerous and
detrimental to our health. In GETTING A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP:
A Cleveland Clinic Guide Nancy Foldvary, D.O. concisely
and clearly discusses sleep disorders and their effective
remedies.
This book gives
the sleepless what they need: real, substantive information
from a source that is trusted by people all over the world.
GETTING A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP is the only book a patient
with sleep disorders should need.
