ok, so what is this solution? I have had insomnia for years. Thank you for admitting you have not made a program good enough for you to sell. that says a lot.

alcohol always HELPS me sleep!! Seriously, thanks for the tips and the increased death rate is very scary. I am also interested in what you are evaluating

I am very interested in any program that can stop the busy brain syndrome that keeps me awake. Yes, I try the relaxation I learned with hypnosis and it helps some of the time, but I just can't get a handle on what triggers my sleepless nights ~ it seems random. I will stay tuned for additional news.

My wife ( a senior ) has had insomnia for years. She certainly would be glad to find anything that could help.

I have been bothered with insomnia for quite awhile. I definitely would like to hear your comments on a solution for this problem.

You do fall asleep faster after drinking alcohol, but you do not really sleep soundly and in a healthy way as alcohol disrupts the normal pattern of the brain.

I would love to see the product for insomnia. I have been bothered with it since menopause and haven't found anything that really works. Best of luck, there are lots of us out there who could use some help!

The most important thing to consider is a delayed sleep phase. Tired and sleepy are not necessarily the same thing and for many people do not occur at the same time. Not matter how tired you are, your body will not fall asleep until it is ready to sleep. Insomnia for many people is really trying to fall asleep when their internal sleep drive is low. Getting into the right sleep phase or accepting that it is what it is and timing sleep around it is a huge start. Low dose (0.3 mg) melatonin taken 3 hours before you want to go to bed will help shift your clock, but it takes a couple of weeks. Properly timed morning light will help. Bright lights, computer monitors, bright TVs etc after 8 PM will delay your circadian phase. Taking supplements like Sam-E later in the day will do it as well. Instead of telling yourself that there is something wrong with you because you cannot sleep, consider telling yourself that your body is not ready to sleep yet (but it will be). That is why trying to sleep when you are not sleepy can make things worse. Even if you believe that are insomniac, or think you are, when you get really, really sleepy, do you actually have trouble falling asleep or is it that you can't seem to get really, really sleepy? Unfortunately, many people with delayed sleep phase have to get up at 6 AM anyway and they are completely miserable and living on caffeine. Working with the body's sleep cycle will change everything.

Interestingly enough, after I quit working nights and sleeping during the day, I was sleeping pretty well until I started using your “Enjoying Weight Loss” hypnosis program. I haven't gotten a decent nights' sleep since (two nights)-in spite of the fact that I have turned off my computers and turned my clock around to avoid the 'blue light' problem. Of course, it hasn't helped that the last two nights I have also had visitations from – of all things! – lightning bugs in my bedroom. Of course, if I were sleeping the wee beasties wouldn't bother me. I would be interested in any solutions to my sleep problem that you might come up with but I gotta tell you, right now I'm pretty skeptical about hypnotism.

Am interested in your program. Five hours of sleep is pretty average for me but curiously enough I usually awake rested and ready to go. All studies say I should be getting more sleep. Thanks for your studies.

I am 67 years old and have battled insomnia for years. I have tried just about every suggestion that I've read or been told, to no avail. I would be glad to have something to try that has a good success rate.

I had this problem for a few years but then read about appliances that work at similar frequencies to our brains and how this keeps the brain 'churning'. I have been better since getting rid of all cordless phones; not having my mobile phone anywhere near my bed and not having a laptop in the bedroom. I hope this helps.

Iam a 70yo male who invents things, I go happily to bed at about 10 and drop off in a few minutes, then I wake at about 2 for a nature call. If I get back into bed without the brain clicking on Great, if however I start to think. Forget sleep! I usually go to my office (home) and make 'phone calls to the US and work at my computer by about 5.30 or 6 I can go happily back to bed.
Some nights I sleep straight through 10 til 6, I've tried Melatonin to no avail, I'm currently trying a brain wave alteration CD nothing so far. The best is a visulisation of walking down steps and getting more relaxed with each step but sometimes the brain just won't switch off.

I'd be very interested in any product that works. Chronic insomniac, sleep apnea.

I don't know if I have chronic insomnia or not. I fall asleep ok; just wake up way too soon. I usually do crossword puzzles till i
I am sleepy again, but it doesn't a;ways work. PK Stein's comments re the sleep cycle were very interesting.

Not being able to fall asleep is often caused through mild anxiety. Thinking back about situations that have occurred during the day… worrying about this and that, what you said, what someone thought of you etc. Get to the root cause of insomnia by sorting out self destructive psychological issues first.

Please send home use program information when available.

The truth is, if you are skeptical about hypnosis it won't work for you. Hypnosis isn't something that works for everyone, it works for people who want it to work. If you go into it thinking it's not going to work, it simply won't.

Most Wonderful if you can address insomnia type where one has trouble STAYING asleep. i have no trouble falling asleep, but wakes up after about 4 or 5 hours and has great difficulty going back to sleep. I'd be awake for 2 or 3 hours, and when i get lucky, i may manage another 30 minutes' nap after which it's time to get out of bed.

I have been having major problems falling and staying aseep for 24 years now and literally at the end of the rope. I cannot think straight and I am tired all the time. I cannot put into words the devastating effect this has on all aspects of my life including relationships and work.
I need absolute quiet to sleep which is impossible to find. I have tried everything under the sun including dangerous prescription drugs all those years because the heball stuff does not work.

I will greatly appreciate any advice or so that you can give me.

Thanks

Nirmala

Very interested to find out what you might have discovered to help with this problem. I am one of those who drops off to sleep fast but wakes up after about 5 or 6 hours still really tired but unable to get back to sleep. I drag through most days this way, often with a real problem with concentration and memory.

Whilst living in Kitwe I was up all/most hours of the night. We moved and now I sleep easy, all night long.

My daughter, age 39 is having trouble sleeping at night. She gets anxious that she will not be able to sleep, and the problem is getting worse. She has 2 young boys, age 3 and 5. She works full time. She exercises everyday and is happy with her job.

Yes I would be interested in such a solution. – I never had trouble sleeping before – even at any time during the day if babies had kept me awake at night – but after taking medication for (quite unexpected!) high cholesterol I started having trouble falling asleep – or was suddenly waking up after sleeping for a short time.
I'm now off medication but still have trouble – often – falling asleep, though I now realise it might have to do with irregular habits (especially after getting onto internet, and reading this sort of interesting articles late at night! – We have also started having wine with dinner regularly – and rather late !
If your programme would let me continue with both 'vices' – and still make me sleep – it would be great!

HELP My insomnia is chronic and disruptive to my life.

Maybe you have issuses that u have hidden deep inside of you such as anger, bitterness and unforgiveness towards persons close to you. Maybe Nirmala you should forgive all those persons to whom such negative feelings/atitudes are directed against. If such person are no longer living then what’s the point of being angry..let it go. And also maybe you are so angry with yourself as well because of some poor decisions you have made in the past.. It is written in the Bible “don’t let the sun go down with (anger still in your heart). It seems that your so angry that u just cannot get to sleep. All the prescription drugs or herbal stuff will not help till you deal with these issuses 1st. Why continue to use dangerous prescription drugs when they are giving you the desired affect, you end doing more damage to yourself.
Stop pushing away those who care for you , forgive, and surrender your life to Jesus Christ.and pray, pray, and pray as i have been doing for some time now.

Three years ago after a heart stent /mom’s death/broken relationship i just couldnt sleep Docs prescribed medicines , initially for a week or so i took them but then i became very anxious . Then i decided to literally take hold of it myself – i started a yoga programme , meditated (this helped me with relaxing and resolving personal issues) and  walking 4 kms  everyday .
The key thing for me was to alternate the way my brain was thinking and i started the breathing exercises. breathe in stop(count 7)-breathe out -stop (count 7) . 
i have been able to sleep well and soundly (even if somebody is snoring beside me) -the way is to follow your breath and empty your mind. sometimes its quite difficult and no amount of emptying my mind helps -then i just surrender myself to the divine and i am asleep 

I practice everyday yoga, meditation(twice a day) – and perhaps the key thing is to understand your brain pattern , to be alert and aware of your thoughts .This will require a regular practice to enable the brain to rest .

It did help me a great deal -
