Disclaimer

Our books are education and self-help. They are not medical, psychological, legal or financial advice, and they are not therapy.

If you are in danger or thinking of harming yourself, contact your local emergency number or a crisis line in your country now. If you are afraid of your partner, contact a domestic abuse hotline before using any relationship advice in our books.

Education, not treatment

Quiet Hours books explain what published research says and offer self-help steps. They do not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition, and they do not replace a doctor, therapist, lawyer or financial adviser. Use them alongside professional care where you can.

The sleep book (insomnia)

Talk to a qualified health professional before starting, stopping or changing any medicine or supplement. Never stop sleeping pills or sedatives suddenly without medical guidance.
Sleep-restriction steps can make you sleepy during the day for a while. Do not drive or operate machinery when drowsy. If you have epilepsy, bipolar disorder, suspected sleep apnea, are pregnant, or work in a safety-critical job, speak to a doctor first.

The relationship book (after infidelity)

It is written for the partner who was betrayed. It is not couples therapy and it does not tell you whether to stay or leave.
Advice about talking things through or rebuilding trust is not meant for anyone who is being hurt, threatened or controlled by a partner. Safety comes first.
For questions about separation, divorce, custody, money or housing, talk to a qualified professional where you live. Laws and services differ by country.

Research and results

Research findings are summarised in good faith from the published studies cited in each book. Results vary from person to person and are not guaranteed. Each program combines approaches that have been studied, but the books themselves have not been tested in clinical trials.

About the author

Our books are published under the Quiet Hours name. We do not claim professional credentials. Research for our books used AI-assisted tools. Every research claim was then checked by hand against the published studies listed in each book's references.

Quotations

Quotations from online communities in our books are lightly paraphrased to protect the people who wrote them. They describe experiences of the problem, not of our books, and they are not reviews.
