Insomnia Cure

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.

Insomnia medicine come in many forms. Anyone battling insomnia obviously wants to be free of the physical and emotional effects of insomnia as soon as possible, not to mention the drudgery of being awake in the night.

There can be some more gentle options than choosing prescription medication which frequently come with less than pleasant side effects.

There are many safe and effective remedies for insomnia that are natural and without the “hangover” frequently experienced with pharmaceuticals.

Herbs have been used for thousands of years and are very potent medicine. Some herbs used to combat insomnia are Chamomile, Hops, Valerian and many others. Blends with different herbs can be more effective than a single herb. These herbs are taken as a tea, in capsule form and sometimes in the bath.

Homeopathic remedies can be helpful for insomnia as well. Interestingly the remedy Coffea, made from coffee beans is really useful in cases of insomnia when the mind is working overtime and it is hard to relax. Homeopathy is a very precise science therefore many of the symptoms are taken into consideration before deciding on one remedy.

Conditioning your brain for deep and restive sleep with audio technology aka brainwave entrainment. This technology has been around since the 80’s and have been used for memory enhancement, focus, concentration, depression and insomnia. This is not only very easy and natural but it is also very pleasant. Listening becomes something one looks forward to.

Using headphones, the rhythmic nature of specific frequencies of sounds very gently and naturally guide your brain into natural restorative sleep. Not only does it help you fall asleep, it helps you STAY asleep. Listening to the sounds have no side effects whatsoever.

Listening to the sounds will also train your brain into a new pattern -that of sleeping when it is night. Like Pavlov’s dog, we are all creatures of habit and once we have the pattern of waking up at night it can be difficult to break. Using the tracks is a powerful tool to train your brain to sleep at night.

The pattern of the brain when we are awake and maybe worrying about something, or fretting that we are not getting enough sleep, is very different from the pattern of the brain when we are sleeping. Actually, it is just about impossible to fall asleep from a state of restlessness or worry. The sound technology will gently guide your brain away from the worrying or over-thinking into sleep. Nice.
