Dr. Naiman’s Publications
Books and CD’s about sleep abound today. Dr. Naiman’s unique contributions to sleep and dream publications are based on an integrative approach, which is comprehensive, accessible and practical. He is currently authoring a series of works for both public and professional audiences.
The Yoga of Sleep
by Rubin R. Naiman, PhD
Dr. Andrew Weil has called his colleague Dr. Rubin Naiman a true pioneer in integrative sleep and dream medicine. Dr. Naiman has given us a new understanding of human consciousness that weaves sleep, dreams, and waking into a unified whole.
On The Yoga of Sleep, he bridges modern science with the world’s wisdom traditions to present a two-CD program on the untapped potential of sleep and dreams — not only for health and wellness, but also for higher awareness and spiritual realization. It features five guided practices based on Dr. Naiman’s unique approach to sleep: Your Personal Bedtime Stories, A Mindful Surrender to Sleep, The Sacred Art of Awakening, and more.
To Sleep ToNight
by Rubin R. Naiman, PhD
At one time or another insomnia impacts nearly everyone. Stress, arising from personal or professional challenges, transitions or travel, and even upbeat experiences such as holidays and celebrations, can deprive us of indispensable sleep.
This innovative double-CD system provides “first aid” to help manage such stress-induced sleeplessness. Through an integration of sleep science and special hypnoacoustic technology, To Sleep ToNight offers practical and effective strategies to optimize your chances of sleep and minimize the effects of sleeplessness.
To Sleep ToNight includes cutting edge information as well as focused practices to help you get to sleep. But it doesn’t stop there. It also provides novel guidance and practices to manage those nights when it feels like sleep is just impossible.

Healing Night
The Science and Spirit of Sleeping, Dreaming, and Awakening
by Rubin R. Naiman, PhD
An innovative vision of the role of night in human health and spirituality, by the sleep and dream specialist for Dr. Andrew Weil’s Program in Integrative Medicine.
In Healing Night, clinical psychologist Rubin R. Naiman explores sleeping, dreaming, and awakening, going far beyond the science of sleep medicine to reflect on what he believes is the profoundly spiritual nature of night consciousness. Naiman reveals how the erosion of night by artificial light and the devaluation of sleep and dreaming have led to an epidemic of sleep disorders and consequent days of chronically dazed waking consciousness. Drawing on both clinical experience and personal explorations, Naiman offers a fresh look at sleep and dreams, and provides alternative healing practices for sleep disturbances. Moreover, he challenges us to acknowledge our spiritual night blindness and embrace the sacredness of night.
