Have you tried everything to get a some sleep? Try this now!


Like a lot of people, for about a year and a half I could not sleep. If you're reading this hoping for something that will work to try to get that illusive sleep - you know how frustrating this can be.

I tried EVERYTHING. I used lavendar, made sure the room was cool enough, took a hot shower before bed, read a book or good magazine, made cell phone and computers off limits at night, you get the picture. I tried all kinds of medicines from OTC to prescription. When I was first prescribed Ambien I was so excited and looking forwards to a full nights sleep after all the stories I'd heard about how well it worked --- but not for me. I would take Ambien and be wide awake for hours afterwards - not halfway awake and sleepwalking, I mean fully awake. It was so frustrating. When the doctor prescribed stronger medicines that was worse, it took me a day and a half to get that groggy feeling out of my system.

I had looked around the web for a good white noise mp3 to drown out noise since even my dog walking around on the carpet would wake me up. I found what I thought would be a great one - Car noises. I can sleep like a baby in a moving car so I thought this would be perfect! I had it all set up, turned the noise on and curled up to go to sleep. This did not go as planned to say the least! My dog decided he had to "protect" me from the cars he could hear "driving by" and barked at my noise maker that was supposed to be helping me sleep. We did have fun and laugh till we cried at him but as you can guess that was no help for my sleep problem.

So, the next day I was back on the internet looking around for another mp3 that might work. This was when I ran across Brain Sync. I can tell you I was really leary about the brain wave therapy and figured it was just hocus pocus, but at this point I was willing to try ANYTHING! So I downloaded Sound Sleep and Deep Sleep and put them on my iPod Shuffle and tried them that night. You do have to use earbuds which felt weird at first, but guess what!!!! I finally slept!! For the first time in what seemed like forever I had a good nights sleep!! The brain wave tracks really work. I have been listening to them for 4 months now and can sleep without taking any medications, just listening to the brain wave tracks.

I highly recommend these for any of you who have trouble sleeping, they have been a blessing for me! Have a wonderful day and a great nights sleep ;)
