I'm not familiar with the book but when you say "the book made my sleep worse", do you mean following the advice in the book made it worse, or simply reading the book made it worse?

The fear of the effects of not sleeping, which I believe are significantly overstated in the book, actually provoke some including myself into having a sleep interrupting fear of not sleeping.

The link above has a section on the possible negative effects.

So yes, just reading it had a negative impact. I'm over it now. Just don't recommend it.
