If you need more help than that, other non-drug options are safe herbs and melatonin found in Easy Doze. This safe herbal blend is very effective in getting you to sleep. You can try it for free here. What we like about Easy Doze is that it is completely natural yet still is as effective as other chemical sleeping pills according to users.

Other non toxic and harmless help for insomnia involves your brain. You can use hypnosis tapes which can have some effect, and you can use audio using binaural beats. Binaural beats is a fairly new science that involves using a tone in one ear, a different tone in the other ear in order to produce a desired frequency of brain wave such as the brainwave pattern of sleeping. I have used binaural technology for years to induce deep meditation so am well aware of the effectiveness of the sound technology.

Binaural beats are harmless, gentle and very pleasant to use. It is a gentle way to go to sleep, and to stay asleep. I have spent many a night with my light weight headphones having the most delicious deep sleep. While I am a hypnotist I have to say I do prefer the binaural sound technology over hypnosis for this purpose. Give it a try, you’ll be most pleasantly surprised.

Now, let’s look at something very interesting and that is your brain waves. Do you know that when you are asleep versus being awake there is a difference in the frequency of your brain waves? That if your brainwaves are that of being wide awake that you can not go to sleep?

Insomnia therapy is a much better and healthier route to take than taking prescription medications.

Unless the insomnia is caused by a physiological illness, insomnia can frequently be overcome by:

1. Life style changes.
2. Developing more healthy patterns of thinking.
3. Retraining the brain to go to sleep at night, and to stay a sleep.

Let’s look at number 3.
If you remember Pavlov’s dog, the dog that was trained that when the bell rang, he would get a treat. Before long, every time the bell rang, Pavlov’s dog salivated. Another interesting study, and there have been many, were mice that were fed something sweet as they experienced something fearful.

Experiencing fear will and can reduce your immune response as can be easily proven by simple blood tests. After a short period of time, the mice no longer needed the fearful item to reduce their immune system, it was enough to feed them the sweets. The sweets were enough of a link to the fearful stimuli and the result was a diminished immune system.

What does that have to do with sleep?

Well, a lot.

We function in the very same way. Once we get used to waking up at night, it can so easily become a pattern. And the more we worry about, or are upset about waking up, the easier it is for the pattern to take a strong hold.

My mother wakes up at 2AM every night. Exactly at 2. (She’s got some conditioning going there…) She gets up, gets some tea and falls promptly back asleep. Now, she could have had the pattern of having the tea and staying awake for a couple of hours, but her pattern is that after the tea she is out like a light. (She likes her tea at night, so don’t want to change her pattern)

One way to break this pattern can be to use hypnosis, or some of the new very effective energy therapies such as TAT or EFT. Another fast and most effective way is to use sounds to gently guide your brain into the pattern of sleep.

So. When we are awake, or worrying or feeling restless the brain has a frequency of somewhere between 14 Hz and up to 20Hz and beyond, depending on how uptight we are. Sleep on the other hand causes the brain to vibrate at somewhere in the range of 1-6 Hz.

Using sound technology to gently and very effectively guide your brain into the 1-6 Hz range and to STAY there is not only a superiorly effective way to go to sleep and stay at sleep, but it also retrains the brain that when we are in bed and it is night we are supposed to sleep.

After using the sound tracks for some time, instead of the anxiety many insomniacs feel about going to bed at night, they now feel peaceful and their brain is preparing to go to sleep.
