Sleep was taking over Anna’s life. Despite multiple alarm clocks and powerful stimulants, the young Atlanta lawyer could sleep for thirty or even fifty hours at a stretch. She stopped working and began losing weight because she couldn’t stay awake long enough to eat. Anna’s doctors didn't know how to help her until they tried an oddball drug, connected with a hunch that something produced by her body was putting her to sleep. The Woman Who Couldn’t Wake Up tells Anna’s story—and the broader story of her diagnosis, idiopathic hypersomnia (IH), a shadowy sibling of narcolepsy that has emerged as a focus of sleep research and patient advocacy. Quinn Eastman explores the science around sleepiness, recounting how researchers have been searching for more than a century for the substances that tip the brain into slumber. He argues that investigation of IH could unlock new understandings of how sleep is regulated and controlled. Eastman foregrounds the experiences of people with IH, relating how publicity around Anna’s successful treatment helped others form a community. He shows how a group of patients who felt neglected or dismissed united to steer research toward their little-known disorder. Sharing emerging science and powerful stories, this book testifies to the significance of underrecognized diseases and sheds new light on how our brains function, day and night. It is essential reading for anyone interested in sleep and sleep disorders, including those affected by or seeking to treat them.

Lucid dreams are dreams in which a person becomes aware that they are dreaming. They are different from ordinary dreams, not just because of the dreamer's awareness that they are dreaming, but because lucid dreams are often strikingly realistic and may be emotionally charged to the point of elation. Celia Green and Charles McCreery have written a unique introduction to lucid dreams that will appeal to the specialist and general reader alike. The authors explore the experience of lucid dreaming, relate it to other experiences such as out-of-the-body experiences (to which they see it as closely related) and apparitions, and look at how lucid dreams can be induced and controlled. They explore their use for therapeutic purposes such as counteracting nightmares. Their study is illustrated throughout with many case histories.

Experiencing the loving presence of God is no great mystery. Too often we simply don't recognize it. But it's all around us, in the most common comings and goings of our daily lives. Consider the man who wanted confirmation about a job and saw a billboard that read, "If you're looking for a sign from God, this is it." It's often that simple! What we sometimes need is not just to listen but to hear--not just to look, but to truly see. Our Spiritual Wake-Up Calls, the fifteenth book of the Mahanta Transcripts series, shows you how to see these spiritual clues and let more of God's love and guidance flow into your life. You'll discover how God communicates through dreams, the people you meet, a song on the radio, a suddenly remembered conversation, or even a newspaper comic strip. Divine Spirit picks the vehicle that is available at any particular moment. Learn how you are in the grasp of divine love every moment of every day. The transcripts in this book are highlights from Harold Klemp's talks worldwide. They offer study aids for greater spiritual understanding and are an excellent introduction to Eckankar. Eckankar is a modern-day spiritual teaching with ancient roots founded in 1965 by Paul Twitchell. Harold Klemp is the current spiritual leader of Eckankar since 1981.
