Once tragedy after tragedy strikes, he is forced to struggle with the past and the dominion it exercises over his life and his relationships. Under his real name Albert Wauuier, he published: DrDrowsy's Sleep Prescription, 2003. This is a delightful introduction to sleep and sleep disorders. It should be of interest to the general public and to patients afflicted with sleep disorders. While reading this humorous and informative book, the reader may conclude that this author Dr. Albert Wauquier, was slandered when nicknamed Dr. Drowsy. If his therapeutic work, the reader should be relaxed, rather than sleepy and dysphoric¿ J. Christian Gillin, Professor of Psychiatry, University of California, San Diego, USA.

They are based on my memories or, what I think I remember, because it is sometimes hard to make that distinction especially when a lot of time past between the events and the present day. Other stories are based on those which my father has been telling so many times For further information consult www.albert-wauquier.com
