I hesitate to speculate as much as I'm about to on the basis of a blog post alone, but here goes... Everything about this post screams to me that the real problem may be chronic stress. Rather than seeing the trouble sleeping as a symptom of stress, and addressing that, the author is just treating sleep as one more thing to be aggressively managed and thereby adding even more stress to the mix ("the time has come to put a stop to this" -- yikes! sleep is meant to come naturally, it's not another checkbox on a to-do list!). I haven't read the book and don't know the author's life circumstances, so maybe I'm completely wrong, but that's just how the post reads to me.
