My child uses it and is miraculously asleep within a short amount of time!! No more melatonin… we reach for this book instead! BEST PURCHASE!

10/10 5 stars

. . . and I'm asleep. Honest! The (mostly) less-than-fascinating articles are on two facing pages, then on to the next topic. "Find the difference" puzzles (cats faces, moths, etc.) can be hypnotic while your eyes roam over the two pages. Good for those times when you want to read something, but nothing too deep or exciting that will keep you awake. My copy stays by the bed, better than sleep medicine.

Very clever and original idea for a book, and once you look at it you can see it's a humor book. But descriptions of it online and in catalogs make it sound as if it's really written by sleep experts and could be a genuinely helpful gift for someone who has trouble falling asleep. (Once you take a look at the authors' credentials, and their lack of first names, you can tell it's a put-on.)Some aspects of it do seem genuinely designed to help you nod off: there are no color illustrations, no side bars, no eye-catching graphics, and pages of text will be absolutely full, there's no white space around the text. The fact that it's padded is probably a great safety precaution, because I have sometimes worried I'd put my eye out with the sharp corner of a book when I fall asleep holding it. This book is not going to hurt if it suddenly drops on your face. But it's probably too funny to really be a sleep aid.

This book arrived today, and it's my lunch break, so I really haven't "tested" it yet under the right experimental conditions. That being said, just from a cursory inspection of some of the entries, I wonder if the damn thing will keep me up laughing instead of putting me to sleep.

Came in good condition, contents in the book are very interesting.

Parts of it are actually interesting, and some even humorous. Unfortunately, I did not find myself nodding off while reading it. Catchy title, though, and not a bad concept.

It's funny but not too funny it's definitely boring which was the goal, but you do learn some fascinating mundane things. I love this book and love trying to read it right before bed.
