Author: If you can’t sleep then you know that a chronic lack of sleep is one of the most horrible experiences that life can dish up. Only those who have experienced chronic insomnia can really understand how debilitating it is to be so sleep deprived.
You feel tired all the time, so tired that you may even feel sick with tiredness. You go to bed at night completely exhausted and then sleep won’t come. You lie there, eyes shut trying to relax and the minutes go by, then the hours …but you just can’t sleep.
Some nights you maybe haven’t slept at all when you see the first light of dawn begin to creep over the window ledge, or you hear the dawn chorus starting up, and you know that you are in for another exhaustingly difficult day.
How I Beat Insomnia & How You Can Too
As a registered nurse, I’d seen plenty of people with the same sleep problems that I was battling myself. I knew there had to be some kind of insomnia cure that didn’t include habit-forming and potentially harmful drugs.
Why Sleeping Pills Are Not The Answer
You can take a sleeping pill occasionally without harm but taking them on a regular basis is a disaster. The longer you take them the more likely you are to need to increase the dose, and then increase it again. Eventually you may develop rebound insomnia, which means they stop working altogether.
Even when they do work sleeping pills are not really giving you the sleep you need. They knock you out but they do not allow you to go through the sleep cycle in a normal way. Sleep isn’t unconsciousness. It’s dynamic, cycling roughly every 90 minutes during the night through the 4 stages of sleep. Without this you aren’t getting a normal sleep with all the refreshing benefits of sleep that you need. No wonder you still don’t feel rested
Drugs were not an option for me so I went in search of a natural solution to insomnia and sleep deprivation.
To cut a long research story short I eventually came across the amazing sound technology called brainwave entrainment. It really surprised me that it was so little known because the science behind brainwave entrainment is good and it isn’t new. Not only that but it is easy and cheap to administer, you simply go to bed and listen.
