I talk about night sweats and how to get a good night's sleep by minimizing their occurrence, and then getting back to sleep.

Chill Out!includes explanations about why you'd want to consider those options - and why you wouldn't. I've got natural, long-term fixes here, too. We cover the things you can change physically and the things you can change in the way you approach your life, so that you minimize the hot flashes and maximize your enjoyment of living.
