Currently, Sleep Hygiene (i.e. Neurochemistry) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT i.e. Cognition) are widely expounded as being the most effective treatments for insomnia. This book proposes that these are just two legs of a three-legged Sleep Stool, and because the third leg has been missing until now, these therapies have not been effective for many people.
Using the new BLIS™ technique in addition to the other two legs of the Sleep Stool provides troubled sleepers with a solid foundation to be able to bring on sleep, as easily as flipping on a switch.
Several years ago when I released the new ideas which I called 'BLIS for Insomniacs’ I expected that it would only be a matter of time before they were widely and perhaps wisely plagiarised. Unfortunately, while my ideas have been plagiarised it hasn’t been at all wisely. This is of no surprise to me.
It’s because very few people in the insomnia 'industry' actually understand all of the processes that need to be in place to make the transition successfully from wakefulness to sleep. There's still an overarching effort to find a single perfect treatment. The attitudes of most people and their treatment providers are still firmly stuck with some old attitudes that I can now show are simply both wrong and limited. They're stuck with a persistent view that sleep happens to you when you stop doing things. When you have the right things done to you. So the result is the continued search for pills and supplements, for things to listen to that make you calm and that bring on the right mental and electrical states. This is all bonkers.
This book presents a breakthrough new technique developed by Allan Baker, an aviation psychologist with over 35 years of professional experience, that will enable you to be more in control of your sleep, and will ensure you’ll get more sleep when you want and need it.
Working extensively with commercial pilots who often have sleep related issues, Allan has considerable experience in the psychology of sleep. In recent years he’s joined the dots presented in numerous scientific studies, and has made a discovery that has previously eluded sleep researchers – the fact that you can learn to flip your own Sleep Switch.
In addition to looking at existing sleep therapies and their effectiveness, BLIS™ For Insomniacs discusses this new discovery and shows how you can treat getting to sleep as a skill, so that it’s something you can do at will, rather than something that merely happens to you.
“When you take charge of your sleep, you’re able to bring it on, actively, deliberately, rather than passively waiting for it to come along. This new technique helps you do that."
