Schenck, MD, sleep disorders expert and author of Sleep: The Mysteries, The Problems, and the Solutions "Dr. Clare Johnson's book is thorough, covers the current research, includes deep, mature understanding of human psyches, and is so artfully written that it opens closed minds with the utmost logic and grace . . .
