One came to me at the reception and told the doctor: "To graduate from college, I had to study and work. Many nedosypal. Learning in medical school, too, was not easy. Even before graduation, I married, the children went. They had to pay for school and support a family, so that sleep time was very short. Since then I lozhus to sleep at 10.30 pm. No end verchus, looking at his watch in the hope that is now morning, and it all does not. Somewhere under the morning, five hours, I fall asleep, and in seven, I already have to get up and go to work. You know, when I was studying at the institute, I made a vow to read all of Dickens, with Walter Scott, Dostoyevsky, because I love literature. But the time for this and was not found. Only, and I know that roll over from side to side until five am. "

"You want to sleep normally, as I understand - I have noticed. - And you still regrets that he never read Dickens. So buy a collection of works of Dickens. "

"Tell us about how your home. Do you have a fireplace and a shelf above it? "He replied, that is. "Great! Then get a desk lamp, put it on the mantelpiece, beside that Dickens put it, stand near the fireplace and read a pleasure to 10.30 pm and five am. So you make a long literary dream. "

After a while, my doctor came to me and asked: "Can I sit to read Dickens?" "Of course" - I answered. Soon, he said again.

"I have problems with the reading of Dickens. I sit down and not having read even one page, failed to sleep. Wake up only in the morning, while sitting posture of the body zatekaet.

"Well, - said I - Remove the clock with luminous dial, and if after 15 minutes, once subsided into bed, you'll still distinguish the figures on the clock, get up, will become the fireplace and read Dickens. And since you've already read some of Dickens, it would find another time to meet with him completely. " The doctor read all of Dickens, Scott, Flaubert and Dostoevsky. He now remembers with horror to read this while standing at the mantelpiece. Already a better sleep.

Sometimes the call for help, those who are able to help themselves. One woman wanted to quit smoking and lose weight. I noticed that she could do it successfully and without special inconvenience to themselves. She replied: "I can not resist the food and the cigarettes, but with regard to physical exercise, then I have a resistance ... and I do not do. "

"You seem to be very religious, is not it?" - I asked. She answered affirmatively. "Give me a firm promise that, do some very simple things that I ask of you." She promised. I have listed their requests: "Keep matches in the basement. You live in a two-house with attic. Smoke what you want, but keep the matches in the basement, and cigarettes in the attic. As potyanet smoke, down to the basement, get a box of matches and leave it on the box, run climb in the attic and take a cigarette, down to the basement and smoke. Here is a prestigious physical exercise.

"You said that you love snacks. Offer a choice: run around the house or somewhere in the neighborhood. Make a certain number of circles, go and eat, that you want. Such an option, you will come? "" Not a bad idea, "- replied the patient. "Good. It goes without saying that when you ispechete cake should be cut it in very thin slices. To eat one piece, you need to limit the speed obezhat around the house - and enjoy your meal. And if you want to eat a second piece, you must obezhat around the house twice. "

Simply amazing how quickly my patient began to lose interest in cigarettes ... Descends to the basement for a match (take it with you not), nesis in the attic of a single cigarette, fly back to the basement and a cigarette. Uncertain pleasure. And running around the house ... A range of one piece, two for two, three, three ... Soon her appetite became much smaller.

Above all, do not have to blindly follow the textbooks and vyzubrennym of these rules. Most importantly - motivate the patient to do what is most useful for him.
