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 causes can range from medical conditions, medications, physical problems such as restless leg syndrome, Emotional problems, sleep apnea etc. These are secondary causes of insomnia and should be diagnosed by a medical professional.

Let’s look at some primary causes for insomnia.

Sleep Schedule

If your schedule changes drastically, possibly due to your working hours that can cause difficulty with your sleep patterns.

Coffee and Alcohol

Caffeine can cause not only problems with falling asleep, but also causing you to wake up throughout the night. Consuming caffeine even in the afternoon can have an effect on your sleep. Alcohol, contrary to popular belief, is not a sleep aid. After consuming alcohol you may fall asleep faster due to the relaxing effects, but the sleep will not be as deep and can cause you to wake up more frequently.

Stimulants such as weight loss products, some medications for allergy and obviously, any of the “energy drinks” on the market can cause problems sleeping even when consumed early in the day.

Stress

Stress is of course a large cause for insomnia. Finding ways to effectively deal with stressors in your life, including chi gong, yoga, counseling will serve you in many ways. Not sleeping due to stress is your body warning you that things are not OK and you need to find a way to deal with your stress in a constructive way. Natural Herbal formulas can be genuinely helpful with no side effects.

Insomnia as a Pattern of Behavior

Insomnia is much a learned behavior. Think Pavlovs dog. It can become a vicious cycle. Besides laying awake due to worry, many insomniacs have the added worry that they worry about not sleeping and how tired they will be the next day. Watching the clock, calculating how many hours before they have to get up.
Trying to sleep can set up a whole mountain of negativity. Simply readying oneself for bed can cause so much stress that sleep is nowhere to be found. When the whole subject of sleep becomes charged and uncomfortable that needs to be addressed first.
