Comments for Insomnia Reviewz http://insomnia.reviewzhq.com get the low down on insomnia products Thu, 28 Jan 2010 07:44:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 Comment on NightWave Sleep Assistant, Original 1 ea by Ohrwurm http://insomnia.reviewzhq.com/nightwave-sleep-assistant-original-1-ea.php/comment-page-1#comment-231 Ohrwurm Thu, 28 Jan 2010 07:44:13 +0000 http://insomnia.reviewzhq.com/?p=122#comment-231 The "Night Wave Sleep Assistant" is touted to be an innovative high-tech electronic device that helps people fall asleep. But here is what it really is: A very, very low-tech flashlight in the shape of a black cube. It is battery operated and emits a small blue ray of light that can be projected onto the ceiling or a wall, where it appears as a blue circle. Due to different modes, the blue light circle can be set to rhythmically expand and contract either faster or slower. After about 20 minutes, it turns itself off automatically. That's all there is!! The "Sleep Assistant" is ABSOLUTELY NO modern bio resonance tool that - for example - would adjust to the breathing of the person thus guiding you into deeper relaxation. It just flashes. In a Dollar Tree store that type of technology would sell for about $ 4,99. So - does it work? Only if you want it to - and yes, a bit. You can look at the expanding and narrowing circle and synch your breathing to its rhythm. But that's only your decision. The light is not at all hypnotic or irresistable. If you comply, it works similar to Yoga. Taking your thoughts off one thing and focussing onto something else instead. But whoever expects this to work like a charm or to come with sophisticated new technology will be very disappointed.

It operates as described and is simple to use. I am just not certain that it works. I have not used it regularly enough that I can say it is an effective aid for insomnia. And the fact that after a few uses I have not continued using it may mean that it doesn't seem to work for me. I will give it more of a chance because I know that this is just another relaxation technique that focuses on breathing and that deep breathing is known to help in quieting the body for sleep.

Written by a noted sleep researcher, it outlines the basic principles of sleep hygiene, presenting practical ways readers can make the changes in behavior and attitude that will alleviate their sleeplessness. The equivalent to having several sessions with a sleep specialist, it should be required reading for anyone who often spends a good portion of the night in fruitless pursuit of the sandman.

I was skeptical at first, but Dr. Krakow's simple methods really seem to help me. I like that this book can be read two ways. You can read it for the detail, or just concentrate on the practical steps he outlines at the beginning of each section. This book should be helpful to anyone who knows or thinks she has a sleep problem, difficulties with sleepness, and etc. The author clearly knows what he's talking about!

D. & Gyandev Rich McCord, Ph. D. There are many reasons people experience sleeplessness. The causes could range from emotional stress (anger, jealousy, worry, fear, insecurity, resentment, hurt), watching too much stressful TV before bed, pain in your body from injuries, anxiety, depression or drinking to many cups of coffee during the day. Insomnia can also be an age-related problem and it does seem that the older I get, the more difficult it is to get to sleep. Having a new kitten has taught me a lot about the joys of sleep and Meesa also seems to love sitting on the edge of my yoga mat while I do yoga. I have noticed a direct correlation between emotional stress and a lack of sleep. When the mind is overly active trying to solve problems, it can be very difficult to fall into a restful sleep. Even answering e-mails later in the evening seems to keep me awake longer. Yoga can magically alleviate emotional stress and give you a center of calm and a place to relax completely into the moment. It is a way of loving yourself and nurturing your body and soul. Yoga is very much about "time for you. " It is a beautiful escape into your own personal power and into a place where you can feel complete peace and a sense of joy. This book contains excellent advice from an acclaimed professional yoga teacher and an experienced medical doctor. You will find information on the reasons people can't sleep, what the body does while we sleep, how sunlight and darkness affect sleep patterns, how to create good sleep habits, the secrets of a great night's sleep, relaxing Ananda Yoga Postures and affirmations, breathing exercises to lead you into sleep, what to do when you wake up in the middle of the night and want to go back to sleep and if you should consider a snack before bed and what type of snack? So, if you are tired of taking sleep medications, give yoga a try. You can incorporate this into your regular exercise routine or daily routine. I like walking first to get the nervous energy out of my body. Walking also seems to make me happier and when I'm happier, I sleep better. Yoga is a healing therapy that can truly help you to sleep. That is why I generally do relaxing yoga workouts in the evening. There are many different styles of yoga and you may find that one style invigorates your body, while a gentle practice will lead you to a place of complete joy and peaceful sleep. A cup of relaxing herbal tea and a quiet space with candles also seems essential to the process. Gyandev McCord has also created videos to teach the Ananda Yoga routines. Look for Yoga for Busy People and Yoga to Awaken the Chakras. I found that imagining colors inside your body is actually very healing and relaxing. It might sound different, but it definitely works for me. ~The Rebecca Review Also recommended: The Metabolic Plan - Good advice for staying young and balancing your life.

All have worked to varying degrees of success, but none like the yoga rountines offered in "Yoga Therapy for Overcoming Insomnia". Not only does this book offer a yoga practice for better sleep, but also a comprehensive medical backround of what insomnia is and how you can also make some simple lifestyle adjustments to sleep more soundly. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to get a better night's sleep and improve their quality of life. -Phil Romano Rating: 5 / 5 I have had insomnia for years and have tried many different types of treatments like drugs, exercise, and diet.
