This is definitely a buy book if you plan to go through it. It looks like it has lots of helpful tips and techniques. There are lots of things to fill out. I am not sure about some of them.
One thing I didn't like is how it says that if you don't do all of it, 100% you won't get good results. While that may be true for some people, the author can't know that is true for everyone. Anyways when it comes to insomnia a little better can be really great.
