A SPECIAL THANKS TO Dr. Norah Vincent, a colleague and clinical psychologist, who provided the content on the behavioral treatment of insomnia. Swen Salgadoe, a former Northwest flight attendant whom I am proud to call my niece, is an expert in overcoming jet lag and supplied an insider’s view on how to do it.
Thank you to Jean Thomson Black, Mary Pasti, Samantha Ostrowski, Susan Laity, and the staff of Yale University Press for help and encouragement in all the steps in the production of this work.
Thank you as well to my patients, who taught me how sleep disorders affected their lives.
Finally a huge hug, kiss, and so forth to my wife, Barbara, who reviewed and edited the text and often put up with my laptop on the corner of the kitchen table while I was writing this.
